Art Mama + Son
Japanese artist Tatsumi Orimoto has been most renowned for his Bread-Man performance art series back in the ’90s. Through Bread-Man, he has created an alter ego that represents modern life and how we relate to each other in contemporary society.
Another central element in his work is his mother, who after the death of her husband has been diagnosed with Alzheimer. In Orimotos new photography work he thematizes society’s way of dealing with separated social groups. You can see this work entitled Life + Reality at the DNA Gallery, Berlin – including photography, video and the performance Finger Dolls + Dirty Dolls.
Tatsumi Orimoto (born 1946 in Kawasaki) studied at the California Institute of the Arts. In 1971 he moved to New York where he worked as an assistant for Nam June Paik and came into contact with the Fluxus movement. Due to the illness of his mother he returned to Kawasaki in 1977 where he lives and works today. His legendary performance Breadman was shown publicly in numerous countries, among others at the Sydney, São Paulo and Venice Biennials. DNA Berlin was opened with works by Tatsumi Orimoto 10 years ago. ❚
