Chiharu Mizukawa

Born in Osaka prefecture in 1981. Mizukawa is currently living a nomadic life, which she has been doing for the past seven years, continuing to create art while staying in different places. These places include abandoned buildings, vacant houses, stores that have closed down, old apartments, flophouses, bars and gallery spaces. She keeps leftover bath water, scrap wood, perishables, rainwater, river/sea water and other materials which accumulate while living in these places and employs them in her work.
