Tetsuya Umeda

Tetsuya Umeda 

From capturing environments, architectural structures, sound, light and human behaviour, the source of Tetsuya Umeda's work ranges widely. Working actively both in and outside of Japan, Umeda remodels installations out of daily products, engages viewers with his interactive performance pieces, and collaborates with musicians using his own originally produced implements.
