Premonition
Made in the Peruvian Amazon from fallen palm leaves, Premonition places a temporary body within a living landscape. The work accepts weather, decay and local conditions as part of its form, asking where an artwork ends and its site begins.
ABOUT
Tomotsugu
Nakamura
A Japanese contemporary artist working across painting, sculpture, photography and land-based installation. Materials gathered from forests, mountains and inhabited landscapes are treated not as representations of nature, but as active agents that weather, resist and transform. His current practice develops from intimate material experiments toward architectural and landscape scale.
Born in Hyogo, Japan
