in Kooperation mit European Photography, Equivalence.com

und la-condition-japonaise e.v., La_condition-japonaise.com

Eine Fallstudie über Krankheiten, die aus Mangel an Kontakten mit  
anderen Menschen entstehen.
Im Vertrauen auf Technologie zur Alltagsbewältigung haben sich die  
Menschen allmählich von einander entfernt.
Dieses Phänomen erzeugt beim Menschen zwangsläufig Pathologien im  
Verhältnis zur Technik.

Virtual · itis ist ein Kooperationsprojekt von Tomoko Kawao  
(abstrakte Kalligrafie ) und Judith Umaña (mixed media ).
Eine Serie aus 10 Teilen bestehend aus Transfer Drucken auf  
Reispapier ( Gazenshii ) und Kalligrafie mit japanischer Tusche.


A case study of illness that will result from people´s lack of  
contact with other humans.
For the past decade, people have gradually detached from other humans  
and are mostly relying on technology to run their every day lives.
This phenomenon will naturally generate human-to-technology phatologies.

TOMOKO KAWAO

Born and raised in Hyogo, Japan, Tomoko began learning calligraphy at  
the age of 6 and won awards for her art at calligraphic art  
competitions in China and in Japan. After taking part in numerous  
exhibitions and live performances she dedicated herself to expressing  
her original vision of diversity in her calligraphic art. In recent  
years, taking full advantage of making her original Sumi (black ink),  
she has since discovered and presented her unique and increasingly  
abstract style through exhibitions both domestic and international.In  
her 2009 solo exhibition for instance, she references the ambiguous  
point between two separate and distinct pieces which focuses on their  
correlation.In 2004 she became the disciple of Master Syoshu in an  
effort to give rebirth to her work and explore even more intensely  
the essential and authentic aspects of calligraphy. Tomoko lives in  
Kyoto.

JUDITH UMANA AYALA

Judith Umaña Ayala from El Salvador, grew up during the twelve year  
Civil War in her country. She was always interested in the arts and  
social commentary. At the age of 18 she moved to the United States of  
America to pursue her University studies in Illustration. There, she  
discovered her interest in multiple medias, so she studied various  
fine art techniques such as printmaking , photography and painting.  
She graduated from Ringling School of Art and Design with a BFA in  
Illustration and experimental Photography. She then focused on mixing  
techniques on different surfaces and testing with various pigments  
and dyes. In 2007 she moved to Japan to pursue her Master’s degree  
in Mixed media Arts. There, she experimented with many modern and  
traditional techniques, mixing them on both paper and textiles. This  
lead to different types of collaboration projects that allowed her to  
experiment not only with her own techniques but the ones from other  
artists from different backgrounds. She believes that experimenting  
is endless and any combination should be tried.

mit freundlichen Grüßen
