About Ryo Kajitani

Ryo Kajitani is a queer artist and art model based in Tokyo, Japan. They identify as nonbinary gender and asexual.

 

During their time at Tama Art University (2010-2014), they specialized in oil-based woodcut printmaking.

In the doctoral program (2016-2019), they studied under the late MOTOE Kunio (art historian, 1948-2019) and Nakamura Yutaka (cultural anthropologist). Their research focused on implementing the ontological aesthetics method in exhibition spaces with the artistic activities therein and proposed tentative logical models based on Heidegger's art theory.

 

After graduating, they returned to work as an art model and Graphic designer in Tokyo. Currently, they are experimenting with mixed analog and computational photography, combining printmaking techniques and partial machine learning (Python library, etc.,).

 

they also use their experience of being assaulted to provide international humanitarian aid and support orphans and others who wish to reintegrate into society.

Current Initiatives

-Current Initiatives (2021-)

This work combines photography, drawing, art printing, and partial machine learning methods.

I create a local data set of nearly 1,000 personal photographs for specific parts of the works and utilize machine learning techniques based on Python and the latent diffusion model. Instead of using a GUI, I code improvisationally in the shell, poetically executing image processing.

Though the code may not be pristine, it is a highly creative endeavor akin to the moment of peeling back the paper to reveal a freshly printed piece in printmaking.

In my works, I confronted the violence phenomenon as a creator, not a victim, and positioned myself as one grain of social noise, not a modern protagonist.

As you know, the collage method is also a technical metaphor for manipulating nature and society. In these works, I reflected on this multilayered metaphor of myself as noise and the diffusion process by 'editing,' questioning the ontological whereabouts of the queer body/identity with an era from beyond Latent space.
