Lives and works and in Tokyo. Exhibits and performs with self-made instruments and devices. Her recent interest is in the gap between the interaction of tools and instruments and embodiments, and the latency between improvisation and communication, and asking questions about the possibility of poetry and narrative impacts from them.
ENDO is an artist and actor whose practice explores body politics through collaborative projects. Drawing on queer feminist theory, her work incorporates notions of passivity and failure as critical strategies, realized through performance, video, and the aesthetics of manga. Recently, she presented the performance video “Ritual for Omega and Alpha” (2024), a reinterpretation of postwar Japanese striptease culture, with dancer USAMI Natsu at the National Museum of Western Art. In 2022, she was a visiting researcher at Franklin Furnace, an archival organization dedicated to non-institutional time-based art since the 1970s, during her stay in New York under the Agency for Cultural Affairs’ Overseas Study Program for Emerging Artists. In 2018, she co-founded the queer feminist art zine “Multiple Spirits” with critic and curator MARUYAMA Mika.
