Yumi Kori (Born in 1960, Nagoya, Japan)

Yumi Kori is a Tokyo and New York City based architect and artist.

M.S. Architecture, Columbia University, 1995

B. Architecture, Kyoto Prefecture University, 1983

"Kori draws equally from training as an architect and her background in theater, for which she has created stage sets, lighting designs, and sound. The artist’s primary interest is creating new environments from existing spaces, calling attention to the effects of architecture on spatial and temporal experiences. Kori is best known for her use of light, sound, and translucent or reflective materials in her sensorial installations in an effort to unite sculpture, architecture, and viewer into a seamless whole. Frequently, the spaces she constructs appear infinite, thereby altering the limits and boundaries of the viewer’s perception. With these totalizing, sensory experiences, Kori invites us to pay close attention to the spaces we inhabit. The goal lies in making the viewer aware of the constructed nature of their lived environments. Clearly indebted to earlier investigations of light and environment by James Turrell or Robert Irwin, Kori’s environments intend to induce a kind of meditation on architecture and how it conditions and shapes our perception of space and self."
