Yamato Kaede

Born 1998 in Tokushima, Japan. Based in Okinawa, Japan.
Yamato Kaede explores the idea that our personal "body techniques" (techniques du corps) are closely tied to social norms, drawing attention to the "templates" embedded in dances that are consumed within the context of tourism and politics, as well as in subtle everyday gestures that are often overlooked. By bringing these frameworks to light, she re-examines the historical, political, and cultural structures that the body is entangled in. She also creates sculptures and installations that imitate the bodies depicted in archives and records, tracing the experiences and memories of others and exposing the multilayered relationship between the individual and society.
