Hodokete Hanarerue

It’s there, but you can’t see it/it’s not there, but you can see it (2025)

Japanese artist Hodokete Hanarerue's work explores attempts to brush past what has been lost at a threshold where presence, absence, reality, memory, and fiction intersect. Her practice spans painting, moving-image and installation. Through processes of fading, looping, and quiet destruction, she attends to moments when objects and images lose their function and become fragile carriers of absence. Her work reflects on loneliness, shifting materiality of what is gone, and non-linear time where past and present hold equal value; art cycle between being and not being, ghosts; works fragment to cross paths with ghosts.
