HANAKO MURAKAMI

Born in 1984, lives and works in Paris. After an M.A. from Tokyo University of the Arts, she joined Le Fresnoy in 2014, a national studio of contemporary art. Her work is informed by extensive research into historical media, such as alternative photographic techniques. Her works produce situations in which truth and fiction, historical facts and contemporary assumptions are intertwined. Her major exhibitions include The desire to see (Pola Museum of Art, Hakone, 2022), Photography to the test of abstraction (FRAC Normandie Rouen, 2020), From Here to There (Japan Society, New York, 2020), CONCEPTION (Rencontres d'Arles, 2019).
