Hiroyuki Oki trained as an architect before deciding to study film at the Image Forum Institute of the Moving Image in Tokyo, and his interest in architecture provided a complement to his work as an “experimental documentarist.” In the artist’s eyes, architecture and film are but two different ways to articulate social spaces and experiences: films generating space, architecture generating images.

Oki was featured in the Walker Art Center’s exhibition How Latitudes Become Forms: Art in a Global Age. For more information about the artist and his work, visit http://latitudes.walkerart.org/artists/index.wac?id=147.
