Miya Kaneko uses topography as a means of investigating the relationship of people and place, creating works that bring the viewer within reach of nonexistent cities. In addition to presenting her work, the artist will conduct a workshop where participants engage in discussion, following their “memories of place” and making notations on a map. By linking together these notations and tracing their own path, the participants will discover a self-portrait that reaches back through their own memories.
