Ai Ozaki / 尾﨑 藍

​​

Ai Ozaki (1991, Saitama, Japan) is a visual artist who works with video, photography, ceramics, painting, and text, to investigate the ways her body interacts with ‘the Other’. This does not only include people, but all living things – and even herself. She often notices that people do not understand each other and are distant from themselves and the world surrounding them. We don’t know what birds are thinking, for example, or how our own bodies function, we cannot even control our own organs. In her practice, she is interested in imagining communication with these close yet so far away and incomprehensible beings and things. She aims to puzzle together a picture of the ways in which people attempt to gain an understanding of these bodily functions and the myriad of ways in which we try to connect to ourselves and the beings around us. Her work has been exhibited in multiple group shows, amongst others, at Art Center Ongoing,Tokyo, Fujisawa City Art Space, Kanagawa, Spiral Hall, Tokyo and Gunma Museum of Modern Art. She finished her residency at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam(2022-2024) and is currently participating in the In situ Residency programme 2024-2025, supported by Daniel et Nina Carasso foundation & Cité internationale des arts.
