Akiko Utsumi works on continuity of time and reconstruction of scenery. She started art by video and photography so that she tries to amplify the concept of them such as time or replay into space by using objects. Employ installation, public art, video, sculpture and photography, she makes art to understand the world in another way and share the essentials in human beyond attribute or times through the medium as art. She creates another scene to “re-experience” a certain event or place. The present is intertwined with all point in time. When we recognize this continuity, the world exposes more multi-tiered image. She tries to create an intersection between fiction and reality which the spectator is able to sympathize with the past or the time that has yet to come. She attempts to create certain “experiences” for the spectator.

She graduated doctoral degree in Tokyo University of Art in 2015. She stayed in Germany 2014-2017, and participated in several residency programs.
