Fudamoto Ayako

  • Born 1991 in Yamaguchi, Japan. Based in Kyoto, Japan.

Based on her experiences in the food production industry and food delivery, Fudamoto Ayako started reconsidering the present-day concept of “food” after coming across many instances in which food products were discarded without even reaching a dinner table, let alone being eaten. The act of creating replicas of such disappearing food resources can be seen as a revival of the memories she has of food, as well as a means to provide herself with a place where she can be connected to this concept of food.
