Akane Kawahara

Akane Kawahara is an interdisciplinary artist based between Tokyo and London whose work concerns the future of our bodies through sculpture, photography, video and installation. In her current work, she researches sensory perception of the world around us and the way we engage with ephemeral phenomena. Seeing the senses as tools through which we engage with our immediate surroundings, her work highlights how materiality can influence a viewer’s sensations and behaviour.

Akane graduated from an MA in Material Futures from Central Saint Martins in 2020, and went on to exhibit as part of the group exhibitions AIR 1/2F at the BnA Alter Museum in Kyoto (2021), Let’s Play with Chaos at the Aram Gallery in London (2022) and in the upcoming Hotsheet exhibition at The Department Store, Brixton, London.
