Born in Chiba, Japan in 1982. Graduated from Department of Oil Painting, Tokyo University of the Arts in 2008. Completed MA of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts in 2010.
Drawing chiefly upon his field recordings, Kamimura experiments with methods that draw upon sight, hearing, and other senses to perceive different scenes. His extensive body of work includes sound installations, paintings, video works, sound performances, and audio works – unveiled in venues both within Japan and abroad. Kamimura refers to the field-recording process as an act of “meditative hunting” – in the process, he acts an observer to the amorphous relationship between humankind and nature. Kamimura composes his sound installations by creating highly-immersive “soundscapes,” many of which draw upon our own biology to create unique sensory experiences.
