Miho Shimizu
Lives and works in Tokyo, Japan
Using textiles as her main material, Shimizu creates sets for live events and video productions, as well as costumes and props for performers and dancers. She is interested in the way the shape and meaning of her creations are transformed by the performer's movements, and has been working on sets in which the performer disappears and reappears, and humorous costumes that cover the face and/or parts of the body, transforming the performer into a monkey or an ostrich.
In recent years, she has been exploring themes such as dreams, puppetry, and kites, through exchanges with local communities and professionals in the field.
