Moko Fukuyama
Moko Fukuyama’s work is driven by storytelling and narratives. Through film and sculpture, she questions how place can shape lived experiences and the intimate lives of her subjects. She creates open and sympathetic spaces to explore the socioeconomic realities and psychology of everyday life. Her approach is quasi-documentary; she draws from people’s real stories and adapts them into fictional cinematic and sculptural scenarios.
Moko Fukuyama has exhibited at The Shed, RECESS and SOHO20 Gallery, all New York, among other spaces.
