Bontaro Dokuyama

Dokuyama has witnessed the devastating change after Fukushima Fallout Disaster in 2011.

Originally from Fukushima, currently working in Tokyo, Dokuyama has witnessed the devastating change after Fukushima Fallout Disaster in 2011. The profundity of his experience has catapult him into the current art practice. By employing wide ranging methodologies and approaches including political activism, installation, video, and socially engaged practice, Dokuyama questions our conformity and dependency on a given social mechanism, and seek to uncover the complexity of the reality which is often hidden from our sight.
