Statement
Rina Kawai is a Japanese artist born in Aichi, Japan. Currently based in Berlin, Germany. She explores the inner reality that interplay “non-visual realm,” focusing on the “structure of the mind and body” through the philosophical thought of Japanese Zen (禅). Her work reveals how our rapidly changing society is linked to the divide between mental and physical experiences. Her creative media are painting, dance performs that invite audiences to engage in dynamically and statically. In her proposal, the subconscious plays an important role. For example, she uses different colors on transparent paper to create shadows randomly and the audience observes the perception of what is visualizing or not visualizing.
