                        About the Artist
                    Tabaimo, born Ayako Tabata in 1975 in Hyogo, Japan, is a highly acclaimed contemporary Japanese artist, primarily known for her immersive animated video installations. Her distinctive style meticulously blends traditional Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print aesthetics and motifs with contemporary concerns, rendered through intricate hand-drawn animation. Tabaimo's works often present unsettling, dreamlike narratives that delve into the anxieties and absurdities of modern life, focusing on themes of psychological states, alienation, and social critique. Her site-specific installations frequently envelop viewers in her surreal worlds, creating an experience that is both visually captivating and intellectually disquieting, reflecting on the complexities of human existence in an increasingly globalized society.
