Masahiro Masuda (Studio Kodai)
増田将大（スタジオ航大）
- ART FAIR - MEET YOUR ARTISTS
Born in Shizuoka Prefecture in 1991. Completed his doctoral studies at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2020. He is currently based at STUDIO Kodai, a shared studio in Ibaraki Prefecture.
Masahiro Masuda's work involves taking a photograph of a casual landscape, projecting the image in the same place using a projector, and then repeating the process of taking a photograph from the same viewpoint multiple times. By then silk-screening the images onto a canvas, he projects an image that is full of overlapping and blurred images of numerous figures and paints.
The overlapping and shifting of images captured using this camera and projector evokes the idea that the time we live in is formed by a series of moments linked together like a continuous film. For art festivals and commission productions, he travels to the site to cover the event, taking photos at the exhibition location and the surrounding area, and is also proactive in producing site-specific works that correspond to the exhibition location.
Main exhibits include "Scattered and Connected" (MARUEIDO JAPAN, Tokyo/Akasaka)
2022), "VOCA Exhibition 2020" (Ueno Royal Museum, Tokyo/Ueno). Major collections include the Yusaku Maezawa Collection of the Contemporary Art Foundation, Richmond Hotel Premier Tokyo Scuola, etc.
