About
Yoi Kawakubo (he/him, b. 1979, Spain/Japan/UK) is a international artist with multicultural background who explores the ontology of structures regarding justice and legitimacy, the unearthing of marginalised historical narratives and the analysis of social issues such as the ethics of financial markets or the problems of nuclear energy. He addresses these topics by employing a variety of strategies, derived especially from photography, film, experimental literature, the conceptualist investigations in art since the 1960s and the logics of financial markets.
