Naoyo Fukuda: At the Threshold's Edge

 

Naoyo Fukuda's solo exhibition, "At the Threshold's Edge," will be held at the Kamakura Annex of the Museum of Modern Art, Kamakura & Hayama.

 

Naoyo Fukuda (1967–) is an artist who explores her belief that “the world is made of words” through both language and art. She creates palindromes that read the same forwards and backward while also sculpting with objects tied to words, such as books, letters, pencils, and erasers. These objects are shaved, folded, cut, stitched with thread, and pierced with needle holes, losing their original forms and gradually disintegrating into small particles. This exhibition presents Fukuda’s creative world, highlighting the transience of existence and the “in-between” of life and death through an installation that encompasses the entire exhibition space.
