Kotaro Ito (b.1997, Japan), a sea kayaker and art practitioner, engages audiences through diverse media, including photography, video, performance, installation and objects around us. Inspired by discoveries during his sea-kayaking journeys, he creates works that explore the social structures and individual identities reflected in the sea.
