Melting Point
A bar staff will serve you a glass of hot water when you take a seat at the counter. The temperature of the hot water is kept at the same as the current body temperature of Momose herself. The artist is far away from the bar but keeps sending her body temperature of the moment to the staff through the system with a thermometer she wears.

Aya Momose (b. 1988, Tokyo) completed her MFA in Oil Painting at Musashino Art University in 2013. By employing a self-referential methodology that reconsiders the structure of video through video itself, Momose’s work deals with the multi-layered complexity of communication with the other. In recent years, her practice has focused on the issue of bodies depicted in motion pictures while delving more deeply into questions of sexuality and gender. Solo exhibitions include “”Momose Aya: Interpreter,”” Towada Art center, Aomori (2022). Selected group shows include “”Aichi Triennale 2022,”” Aichi Arts Center, (2022).
Major collections include the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art.
