BIO
Saki Kaneko
1989 Born in Tokyo
Kaneko Saki’s practice centers on empathy and coexistence between people.
Often unable to locate a “median point” within her own concepts and sensibilities, she seeks its contours through dialogue and encounters with others.
Her works function as devices that visualize the fluctuations of human relationships—shared emotions, misunderstandings, resonance, and dissonance alike.
While rooted in the intimate sphere of human-centered relationships, her approach also invites external perspectives, questioning the very framework of interpersonal connections.
Through the equation Empathy × Coexistence = Work, she generates new forms of relationship with the viewer.
Kazuomi Kaneko
1992 Born in Kyoto
Kaneko Kazuomi’s work explores the softening and reshaping of fixed concepts.
Having lived through intense shifts in environment, the act of continually creating a place for himself has been both a survival strategy and a source of artistic drive.
He engages with concepts deeply rooted in society and culture—such as systems, values, and the canon of art history—softening their rigidity before reassembling them into new configurations.
These processes are designed to be experienced physically and spatially by the audience, transforming abstraction into tangible form.
Underlying his approach is a dismantling of human-centered values and a re-editing of the world through non-human perspectives.
Through the equation Softening × Reshaping = Work, he proposes the potential of change and diversity.
KALEIDOSCOPE
KALEIDOSCOPE is the artist duo of Kaneko Sachi and Kaneko Kazuomi, whose practice navigates the interplay between human-centered and non-human-centered perspectives.
Sachi investigates empathy and coexistence within human-to-human relationships, while Kazuomi softens entrenched concepts and reconstructs them into alternative frameworks.
Their distinct approaches act like the shifting mirrors of a kaleidoscope—flipping perspectives, recombining elements, and generating countless new images.
From the intimacy of human relationships to the reconfiguration of values through non-human viewpoints, KALEIDOSCOPE’s works traverse a broad spectrum of relational transformation.
They draw viewers into this passage between worlds, prompting a reconsideration of what it means to “live together” in the present age.
