About
couch: Artist duo of Reiko ASAO and Hiroki MIYAZAKI
Formed in 2011. Develops works and projects examining the primary and heuristic process of manufacturing, while finding approaches for individuals to intervene with institutions of politics, economics, and history through artworks.
The duo produces installations and video works considering realities in the context including art technologies and pre-narrative. They are particularly experimenting with art as a way of letting the realm between empirical reality and narrative tell, and are exploring the potentiality of apparatuses or spaces for telling narratives.
The works have been shown at exhibitions and festivals including Fable d’une fable (Institut français de Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, 2025), Taoyuan International Art Award (Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts, Taoyuan, Taiwan, 2025), ifva festival (Hong Kong Arts Centre, Hong Kong, 2023), ICC Kids Program (NTT InterCommunication Center [ICC], Tokyo, Japan, 2022), WRO Media Art Biennale (WRO Art Centre, Wrocław, Poland, 2019), Biennale Némo (ARCADI, Île-de-France, France, 2018), Digital Choc (Institut français du Japon, Tokyo, Japan, 2018), ACC_R Showcase (ACC Asia Culture Center, Gwangjiu, South Korea, 2018), Festival Scopitone (Stereolux, Nantes, France, 2017), among others.

浅尾怜子・宮﨑大樹によるアーティストデュオ。
ものづくりの初源的・発見的方法を検証する作品やプロジェクトを展開する。政治、経済、歴史のような巨大な事象に、個人がアートで働きかける方法を追求している。アートの技法、説話や寓話に連なる現実的背景をもとに、インスタレーションや映像作品を制作する。現在は特に、実証的な現実とものがたりの中間の領域に語らせる方法としてのアートを試みており、ものがたりを語るための装置あるいは空間の可能性を追求している。
