Something that Floats / Something that Sinks
Ikon presents the first major survey of work by Shimabuku (b. Kobe, 1969), including installation, video, drawings and sculptural pieces dating back to the early 1990s, when he first emerged as an artist in Japan, up to the present day. Shimabuku’s artistic practice is characterised by an intense fascination with the natural world and the countless manifestations of human culture within it; encouraging us to break with established habits of perception and enjoy experiences as if they are happening to us for the first time.
