Shu Isaka

Born in Nara in 1990.

While researching imperceptible phenomena in the natural environment and human activities in response to them, Isaka creates works in a realm that crosses scientific knowledge and narrative imagination. Using video footage from fieldwork, 3DCG and VR, and his own observation devices as props, he explores a specific storytelling method as Post-essay film.
