One of the “most prominent artists to come out of Japan in the late 90’s, TORIMITSU creates sculptures, installations, videos and photographs that force the viewer to reconsider the effect of capitalism in daily life, the hypocritical imagery of corporate culture; the media stereotypes of happiness, cuteness, and smiling; and the global obsession with consumerism.” – press release<\/em><\/p>\n

Currently New York City based, MOMOYO TORIMITSU came to NYC, from Japan, in 1997 – with what is probably, her most famous project – ‘MIYATA JIRO’ – a mechanical life-size and very life-like crawling Japanese businessman. Her show, ‘Inside Track’ (2004) at DEITCH PROJECTS, “pitted three (international) businessmen robots in a global death match.”<\/p>\n
