𝐨𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 #𝟑 𝐍𝐚𝐨𝐭𝐨 𝐍𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐦𝐮𝐫𝐚 @naoto0_0 ⇨⇨⇨ For the third feature of orbit sphere, a conversation-based interview, we are welcoming Naoto Nakamura. Through his work, we explore living spaces, ways of seeing, and the forms that emerge through the negotiation of distance and relationships within everyday environments. Naoto Nakamura, a Japanese artist and designer working across photography, video, sculpture, installation, and writing. He graduated in Visual Design from Kanazawa College of Art and is currently enrolled in the Global Art Practice MFA at Tokyo University of the Arts. Through fragments of furniture and space, his practice explores the untranslatable boundaries between internal confinement, external dispersion and accumulated notions. orbit sphere #3 (1/4) 🪟👤✈️ ...

As the eye level rises, looking from above makes the act of seeing itself stand out, almost transparent. The conversation continues in a labyrinth of Éléonore’s elements, where we catch views through machine bodies, their diagrams, and roofs, the skin of architecture.

Her sculptures and drawings grow from pixels, deformation, and the shifting presence of animals, architecture, and gardens.
