>> BIO

Ayane Tominaga (b. Miyazaki, Japan) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work delves into the complex interplay between self and others. In their practice, Tominaga utilizes space and sound to craft interactive soundscapes that invite viewers into a unique, imaginative realm. 

​

Drawing inspiration from Timothy Morton's object-oriented ontology, Tominaga seeks to evoke a sense of the uncanny and the uncertain through her interactive soundscape. Exploring the boundaries between the familiar and the unknown is central to their work, creating a space where viewers can engage with deeper, often unsettling, questions about existence and interconnectedness. Tominaga’s art challenges traditional perceptions, offering a fresh perspective on the relationships that define our world.
