Shinji Wakasa


An artist based in  Berlin and Tokyo. 
His work explores the materiality of sound and the ontological boundary between life and death. His installations are site-specific, built through multi-channel audio and organic materials layered into spatial compositions that invite audiences into ritualistic sonic experiences.
