Born in Aichi in 1964. Living in Tokyo.
Mitamura has
exhibited her works widely inside and outside the
country. Her
installations structure space through the combination of
various materials such
as photos,images, music, language, old clothes
and second hand
goods. And then they pretend that it’s "a drama
which people can
venture into."
The
objects displayed in the space exist like picture
book illustrations
and the people who view them can imagine a story
for each item. Her
artworks try to share awkward endearing emotion
and memory with
people. Those are familiar and close to anyone
and everyone's lives
through the everyday details of life.
Recently
Mitamura also places emphasis on communication
art-project "Art &
Breakfast" that is traveling all over the world. To
create site-specific
artwork inspired by a particular location out
of something, she
choose between various approaches in accordance
with the location,
such as communication art, improvised installations
and performance art,
and incorporating photos and videos of objects.
