CMTK（Chihiro Mori x Teppei Kaneuji）
Over the years, Mori has been focusing her photography practice on streets, landscapes, and TV screens, and has been capturing such subjects on a daily basis. She views her work as a ray of light, beauty, or an entrance to somewhere other than the present moment. The project begins when Kaneuji edits and collages them and connects them with the material world. The results are new images that go back and forth between real and unreal, intricately mixing multiple disconnections and multiple connections with multiple gazes.
CMTK has participated in Art Collaboration Kyoto (Kyoto) and Yanbaru Art Festival (Okinawa) in 2021. They are scheduled to participate in the Kyoto International Performing Arts Festival in October 2022.
Teppei Kaneuji
Teppei Kaneuji collects everyday things and creates works using a collage-like technique. With a wide variety of forms of expression, including sculpture, painting, video, and photography, he consistently seeks to devise a formative system that manifests the relationship between matter and image.

In addition to his exhibitions in Japan and abroad, he has also produced many forms of stage art and book designs. For stage design, he produced “We can’t understand each other like home appliances” by Owl Spot (2011), KAAT Kids Program 2015 Delicious and funny treats “I understand cookies” (2015-2016), KYOTO EXPERIMENT 2019 Chelfitsch x Teppei Kaneuji, “Eraser Mountain” (2019), chelfitsch x Teppei Kaneuji “Eraser Forest” (21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, 2020), and he directed “tower (THEATER)” (ROHM Theater Kyoto South Hall, Kyoto Experiment 2017), a stage adaptation of his own video work.
