KUSUMI Erika

KUSUMI Erika
Today, genres are meaningless upon the horizon of art. Ever since photography appeared on the scene 200 years ago, artists have continuously questioned the purpose of their own existence. Photographer and web designer Erika Kusumi is a logical and clever photography artist. Traditionally, collages are made by cutting out images from magazines and the like, but she uses material she has photographed herself and delivers calculated, unified, and remarkable images that defy visual expectations. When examined in detail, her collages which are clearly influenced by surrealism are scattered with familiar buildings and roads; futuristic and nostalgic all at once, they beckon one to the edge of a sensation of intoxication. Idealism toward “destruction” of the human body and landscapes crosses with the maternal instinct of “rebirth”, and the result effortlessly goes beyond simply provoking surprise.
