ASAMI Shunya

Artist/photographer/workshop designer. Born in Katsushika, Tokyo, in 1982. Currently lives in Saitama Prefecture. Graduated from Bunkyo University, Faculty of Education, in 2006. His photograms – pictures taken without using a camera – are themed around the concepts of “time” and “memory,” the appeal of which he continues to communicate in workshops held throughout the country. His own artistic work ASAMI defines as a combination of “creating things” and “conveying things,” placing emphasis on the generation of temporal and spatial occasions that bidirectionally stimulate both the creator’s and the spectator’s creativity. He coordinated the SMF artist team at Saitama Triennale 2016.
