Hiraki Sawa

Born in Japan and based in London / Kanazawa, he creates spatial and temporal installations using mixed media, primarily moving images, alongside installation, drawing, and sculpture. His work explores the oscillation between personal and collective memory, drawing out a quiet sense of universality, fragility, and nostalgia — an emotional terrain shaped by time and remembrance.
His works are held in the public collections of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, US; the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, AU; the National Museum of Art, Osaka, Japan; and the Hayward Gallery, London, UK, among others.
