Biography

Chihiro Tazuro (1989, Japan) is a Multidisciplinary Artist currently based in Tel Aviv, Israel. 

 

Throughout her formative years, she studied rhythmic gymnastics and later on, in college, contemporary dance.  At that time, using her body and mind in their synergistic entirety as the instrument and as the liaison, between inspiration and expression, physical utterances and mental postures; she choreographed several dance pieces which heightened her desire for artistic expression.  At the age of 21, she moved to the Netherlands to further her studies of dance at Artez college.

 

Then, to The School of Visual Theater in Jerusalem to pursue a wider spectrum of arts including the art of performance, plastic, video, music, and more.  There is where her pieces began determining their most appropriate mediums for their composition. 

 

After graduation, she devoted herself to eastern music with a specialization in Persian wind instruments while at the same time independently publishing several plastic, performance, music and film projects at festivals and galleries throughout the global arena. 

 

By stepping away from how she is domesticated to interpret the life around her, she reshapes, or rather devoids it of any shape, dilates her perspective of the world and strengthens her awareness and connection to its facets.  Her interest is in conveying how the materials she uses exist without borders and allowing them to determine the form of their uncategorized state.
