Biography
Keita Mori was born in 1981 at Hokkaido (Japan). He lives and works in Paris.
He obtained a Master in Arts (New Media) degree of the University of Paris VIII in 2007 and of the ENSBA - École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris in 2004, as well as a BA in Arts (sculpture department, specialised in mixed media) of the Tama University of Art, Tokyo.
Since 2011, Keita Mori creates drawings with a unique technique of cotton threads fixed on paper by using a glue gun. The threads form lines without variations, uniform like frontiers. The artist creates spaces by the accumulation and tangling of threads: objects, systems in which fissures – or “bugs”, as he calls them – reveal shattered areas, ever in motion as if only provisional.
