In his multimedia practice that encompasses sculpture, painting, drawing, and film, Naotaka Hiro explores the unknowns and limitations of the human body. Extending this line of inquiry to his creative process, Hiro will frequently restrict his body while working, sometimes wrapping himself in a canvas sheet or coating his body in silicone. For his drawings, he lies directly on the paper as he marks it. As Hiro explains, “The artwork is proof of the process, representing my body’s residue, placement, and movement.”
