Description
Tetsumi Kudo's sculptures from the 1960s and 1970s anticipate contemporary ecological anxieties with their depictions of ecological decay. Born in Osaka, Japan, after the atomic bomb in 1945 had a profound impact on his life, Kudo's work reflects a consistent focus on dystopia and decomposition. His fluorescent birdcages and blacklight terrariums are furnished with an assortment of sculptures and found objects, including melted plastic flowers, colorful phallic chrysalises, and dismembered resin body parts. These pieces urge viewers to reflect on how we may or may not continue to survive in a world that we ourselves have ruined through pollution and consumerism. This volume presents a focused selection of Kudo's work from the 1960s and 1970s, demonstrating a postwar awareness of the atomic bomb's effect on reproduction and the environment.
