Moko Fukuyama, born and raised in Japan, is a multidisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Her diverse practice encompasses large-scale sculptural installations, experimental film, and collaborative projects.
While in residence she filmed her quasi-documentary fictional mystery hybrid movie La bohème. Tussling with the ideas of “home," she used her own family dynamic, complicated by the backdrop of an aging Japanese society. The project expands into a deeper discourse on social and political concerns associated with aging, physical disability, mental illness, self-identity, and our coping mechanisms. The project was introduced at Tops Gallery, Memphis, in the fall of 2017.
