Chiharu Koda
In Chiharu Koda's artistic practice, layers of memory condense into precise spatial structures. Water — particularly the Rhine— serves as a material carrier of memory, manifesting in dried states while simultaneously preserving its original presence. Her installations unfold a multi-layered dialogue between tangible materials and digital control, ranging from concrete cubes and delicate wooden structures to electronically controlled motion sequences. Characterized by a meticulous exploration of time and process, her works create intermediate spaces where sedimented memory and the artist's present presence converge.
