Erika Matsunami
Multimedia, Video Art, Sound Art, Performance (Live Art), Photography, Mixed Media and spatial Installation
She is a fine artist creating transdisciplinary works. She was born in Hiroshima, Japan and lives and works in Berlin.
From 1982-84, she studied sculpture under Professor Hisashi Akutagawa (Tokyo) et al. at the Hijiyama University, Junior College, Department of Fine Arts in Hiroshima, Japan, where she worked as a research associate (advanced courses) in sculpture from 1984-1986 under Professor Hisashi Akutagawa, Professor Masanami Yhoshida and Professor Hideki Okuda. During this time she was a member of Shinseisaku kyokai Hiroshima, an artists' union of fine art in the section of sculpture. From 1989 through 1990 she studied German at the University of Vienna, Austria.
She studied at the Department of Fine Arts, postgraduate course (Institut Kulturpädagogische Arbeitsstelle für Weiterbildung– Ästhetische Erziehung / Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaften http://www.kunstimkontext.udk-berlin.de/?page_id=10) at the Berlin University of the Arts, Germany and she completed her fine art studies in 1997. From 2009 through 2010, as a guest student under Honorary Professor Dr Martin Supper, composer, scientist and study program director of the postgraduate course in Sound Studies – Acoustic Communications at the ZIW of the Berlin University of the Arts (http://www.udk-berlin.de/sites/soundstudies/content/index_ger.html) and head of the UNI.K-Studio for Sound Art and Sound Research the Department of Music at the Berlin University of the Arts. Afterwards, from 2011 through 2012 she studied the musicology for her artistic research continuously under Honorary Professor Dr Martin Supper, UNI.K – Studien für Klangkunst (sound art) und Klangforschung (sound research), Department of Music at the the Berlin University of the Arts (http://www.udk-berlin.de/sites/unik/content/index_ger.html).

http://www.researchcatalogue.net/profile/?person=33299
She is an artist member of GEDOK and Berlinerpool in Germany and traditional Japanese Dance-Theater Hanayagi-ryu in Japan.
She transforms autobiographical experiences and motives from her social environment into an artistic context and creates projects with different media.
Her works comprise a spectrum of both themes and media that spans from sculpture and photography by way of video and performance art all the way to mixed-media installations. Among these works, one of the most prominent is the serial project “still/silent” that is documented here for the period from 2007 through 2010. By structurally inscribing her work with a re-contextualization of space-times and media, she has it refer and point to the potentiality of the identity creating function of remembering. The spatial transfer that is programmatically expressed in the choice of diverging venues of performance, thus intuitively becomes the transformation in the sense of the experiment in medium and memory.

Artist Statement
As a fine artist I transform autobiographical experiences and motives from my social environment into an artistic context and create project performances (live art) and audio-visual-, mixed media-, spatial installations. In doing so I employ the media of video, super-8-film, photography and sound.
In my visual and audio works as well as in my mixed media spatial installations sensual perception – seeing and hearing, but also the touch of the material – is an important part of the means of expression.
Examples of my work include the projects “still/silent” (2007– ) and “B.O.D.Y.” (2000– ). “still/silent” was conceived in collaboration with the composer and pianist Antonis Anissegos (up to 2009) and the sound engineer Niklas Schmincke and was continued from 2010 onward with the composer and bassist Chris Dahlgren. Within the project entitled B.O.D.Y. there is a wall installation that consists of sounds and photographies of skin and body parts. The sound is audible as a synthesized rhythm of the body via headphones, which intensifies the auditive impression and connects it to the optical perception of the piece.
An important part of my work is “uniqueness” insofar as a each time is once – in my performances as well as in the live art of location specific installations – for every encounter with a space or location is a unique event that arises from the divers possibilities of the elements such that a new perpective on the works and the context in which they stand is created.
With my audiovisual works I challenge the norms of photography, of video or film respectively and of sound; I use these media in my performances as well as in my live art and connect them in mixed media spatial installations. The photographies and drawings on super-8-film are digitally finished to create an experimental video. By using a kinetic language I create abstract moving images and thus point to the half forgotten often unnoticed interspaces in my environment.
The core of the spatial installation is the artistic ordering of the imaginary and the symbolic, this order is created by the context of the project and the artistic arrangement of the material and the sounds and audio phenomena in the respective space. Photography also plays a very important role for me and in my works, I often examine the method formalism.
Methodically I examine classical as well as traditional and japanese Modern art, the insights I gain from this I transpose to my contemporary artistic work and thereby transport them into todays society. Currently I am working on the projects “still/silent”, “B.O.D.Y. – hidden codes”, "Les coloris" and “three rooms” (working title), that will all be continued in 2013.
According to Nelson Goodman’s thesis, the aim and purpose of art and science is the same: cognisance, i.e. insight as the (selecting, sorting, construing) organisation of knowledge. In this sense, the essence of science and art is equally “cognitive”, its quality “cognitive excellence”. (Franz Koppe: Kunst als entäußerte Weise, die Welt zu sehen. Zu Nelson Goodman und Arthur C. Danto in weitergehender Absicht. In: Franz Koppe (Ed.) Perspektiven der Kunstphilosophie. Texte und Diskussionen; Frankfurt am Main, 2nd edition, 1993.)

B.O.D.Y. -hidden codes 2011–
Image: "B.O.D.Y."– hidden codes 2012, Photography (series)–self portraiture
Dimension: 50 x 70 cm
Technique: Photography, C-print (mounted on aludibond, behind plexiglass)
(Photography series; each image 1/3 Edition, 2012)
(This Photography series is digital Photography)
Text: The project “B.O.D.Y. – hidden codes” was developed from a preceding project “B.O.D.Y.” (1989 through 2010) and is not yet concluded. The first part of the work I conceived and exhibited in a private apartment (semi-public space) in Venice in 2011. I coded biological symbols such as breathing, heartbeat, voices and others in five sounds, the Sino-Japanese character „心(heart)“ and the characters for the word „hear/ear“ as well as Photographs of a doubled body are on the wall, creating a poetic space around the themes of body and time. These works are to be exhibited in a private apartment in which someone lives – it should be private and an inhabited space.
Further works from “B.O.D.Y. – hidden codes” comprise the optical and acoustic realms of the theme “body – presence and absence in present day society”. I will conceive the spatial setting of the new works from “B.O.D.Y. – hidden codes” (2012) as a common room to be transformed into such as an exhibition space. With the works I seek to create a private space of the mutual and of sharing in a public space.

"B.O.D.Y." – hidden codes 2011/2012
Technique: Photography, Mixed Media
Dimension: 43 x 53 cm
unicum/Unikat
This series work "B.O.D.Y."–hidden codes 2011/2012 remake of my photography series-self portraiture (1993–1995), Berlin which work related with my drawing "nightmare/alptraum" (1990/91)
(Those Photography/Mixed Media Works are analog Photography)

video “B.O.D.Y. – piece of glass“ (2012)
I began work on this short video by recording the meanings of such seemingly neutral places such as a railway station then creating a montage of the pictures. Thus I was able to symbolize the overlapping images of the system of the architectures and and body parts circulation in the rhythm of everyday life. Goals and events are an important component of life, giving it richness and meaning.
The sound B.O.D.Y.-„Piece of glass“ (2012) by Niklas Schmincke and Erika Matsunami is a tonal composition that uses the sounds created by bits of broken glass. The part is the whole.

This video and the sound are constructed around the world topics/events of the year 1964 and the personal accounts from memory of the year 1964 by relatives of mine that are still living in the city of Hiroshima. It is a point of view and a short review of the ideological, philosophical and political meaning of human life, complex social systems or events and the consideration given to individual life at that time (history the year 1964) in history.
The year 1964 was a leap year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calender, it is a benchmark of the time on earth.
I was one year old and lived in Hiroshima city in 1964. I interviewed my relatives in Hiroshima in 2013 about the year 1964. We talk about what was happening, what changed regionally, nationally and internationally and the technology that was developed day by day, however communication and correspondence were not as fast and closely linked as they are now.
Jean-Paul Sartre was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature and he’d refused it...
The year 1964 was ending on Thursday of the Gregorian calender which means in Middel English „Thor’s day (Norse mythology)“.
