anthï OPEN STUDIO PERFORMANCE『巡り』

anthï OPEN STUDIO PERFORMANCE『巡り』

Since its opening in 2000, Kyoto Art Center has been implementing the “Artist in Residence” program, in which domestic and international artists and researchers stay in Kyoto for a certain period of time to engage in creative activities and exchanges, supporting the activities of emerging and young artists and researchers who wish to pursue creative activities in Kyoto.

This year’s resident artist, anthï, will hold an open studio, 『巡り』(Meguri).

anthï’s research focuses particularly on Japanese pop culture and media, and the transcultural exchanges with it shaped by their experience as a queer, Latin-American artist. During their stay in Kyoto from April to July, 2025, they will delve into the frictions between real, simulated, and reimagined spaces within these processes. Please come and join us for the last performance of anthï’s residency in Kyoto!

ーーーーー
Artist

巡り(Meguri) conveys a traversal across the landscapes of media, online culture, and personal history. It serves as a crossing point where the imaginary of anime, the simulated of the digital, and the real, exchange meanings to create new ones.

Uncovering these intersections through the friction between recorded materials, the artist assembles part of their results and their work during their residency period into this sound performance, and shares their journey for meaning, to allow the audience to create their own.

It is a pilgrimage to find meaning in none of those landscapes individually, but rather in the collision and collapse of them altogether.

“ It is an adventure, right? Right?
In this world where the real becomes fiction “
