Dan Isomura

Dan Isomura creates artworks in various media, including twodimensional work, three-dimensional work, video work, sound installation, and project-based work. The themes of his works are diverse, often infused with a science fictional imagination, humor, and seriousness. If the themes of his previous works were to be summarized in short sentences, they would include: ‘Creating a new language using the nose instead of the mouth,’ ‘Imagining the extraterrestrial dogs,’ ‘Exploring forms of Buddhist art lost with the westernization of Japan,’ ‘Dancing to one beat per a million year,’ ‘Analyzing contemporary human society through comparison to prehistoric creatures such as archaeopteryx and trilobite,’ etc. He believes beauty would emerge by protecting his ‘wild time and body’ from the social order defined by the
majority.
