WATANABE Shiori

Born in Tokyo in 1984, Watanabe Shiori grounds her practice in close observation of extinction, protection and exclusion among species, the nation state as an ecosystemic community, and the relations between humans and nature embedded in folk customs and ritual practices. Her representative installation sans room links water tanks cultivating plants, fish and bacteria collected from the Japanese Imperial Palace – an early playground for the artist – to form an artificial, circulating ecosystem.

Watanabe received her BFA and MFA in Sculpture from Tokyo University of the Arts. Her recent solo exhibitions include Ohoyake / Filial 1 hybrid (2025) at Yu Harada and Syuku (2024) at Shiseido Gallery in Tokyo. Her work has been featured in exhibitions at JAPAN HOUSE São Paulo (2025–26); Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art, Aomori (2025); Invocation #4 of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo, Tokyo (2025); and SACS, Tokyo (2024). She also curated Toutoutararitarariratarariagarirararitou at the Kabukicho Noh Theater, Tokyo (2022).
