Keita Kojima (JP, 1985)
Residency period : October 2024
Born in 1985, Keita Kojima (lives and works in Tokyo) is a Japanese artist who graduated from the Kanazawa College of Art. In recent years, Keita Kojima has created works that visually explore the relationship between the meaning of words and the shapes of letters using augmented reality (AR). He develops AR works where virtual word monuments appear in various locations throughout Tokyo’s Shibuya district.
As an art director and graphic designer, he handles direction and design for advertisements, product packaging, and books.
Invited at La Becque as part of a partnership with Nestlé and Photo Elysée, Keita Kojima has been chosen to present works as part of the Super Natural exhibition project, which explores the mutual fascination between Switzerland and Japan through the eyes of photographers from both countries. The exhibition was conceived to mark the 160th anniversary of Swiss-Japanese bilateral relations in 2024 by Photo Elysée and the Swiss Embassy in Japan, in cooperation with Tokyo Photographic Research.
For this residency, Photo Elysée has been provided with space by La Becque, thanks to the support of Nestlé.
