Where the Everyday Becomes Poetry

Chance encounters and gestures that intertwine and dissolve: Koki Tanaka’s art builds provisional communities, spaces where relationships and perceptions are in constant flux. In his work, the everyday becomes poetic material: a die rolling endlessly, ordinary objects freed from their function, minimal actions revealing hidden tensions and meanings. Today his focus is on human connections, orchestrating performances in which musicians, poets, or artisans collaborate on a shared creative act until the self fades into the energy of the group. Videos, photographs, and installations invite viewers to experience this fleeting coexistence, reflecting on parenting, work, and the fragility of social bonds. Even the exhibition design becomes a living organism: movable structures and freely placed seating transform the space into a landscape in perpetual transformation, where each visitor can choose their own vantage point and participate - if only for a moment - in a community that exists solely in the instant it is lived.
