Asako Ujita (1997, Osaka, Japan) is an artist/filmmaker based in London. In her practice, she is interested in exploring history and working with the archival - from news, found footage, to informal recordings such as dairies and letters.
Beneath the layers of calm and dream-like tone of her films, these narratives of the past weave into current socio-political issues such as territory, ecology, gender, and identity. She considers this stitching of time a reconstruction of myth, evoking psychological experiences of collective memory, trauma and imagination in the present.
