Chihiro ITO is a painter and media artist from Japan. His works involve documentary and improvisational elements, consistently and poetically asking questions about humanity/sociality and covering the subjects/identities of “myself,” “now” and “here.” Ito graduated from the Musashino Art University in 2004. Since then, his art has been exhibited in Japan and in Europe. He also collaborated with Japanese poets and experimental theatre artists. In 2018, Chihiro Ito travelled to New York with a Japanese government grant. There, he encountered Jonas Mekas and began to focus more on video and poetry production. His films have been honoured with more than 30 cinema awards. Ito currently lives and works in New York, where he continues to research Fluxus, which was a strong influence on him.
