InstintoNatsumi Ito
This exhibition presents a selection of photographs by Natsumi, capturing everyday moments from around 2015 to the present. Alongside new works, several pieces from past exhibitions are also included, allowing visitors to experience her unique, boundary-free worldview in full. Since her debut exhibition in 2016, Natsumi Ito has remained consistent in her themes. Amid the constant flux of her creative life, her enduring perspective, the way she frames the ordinary, and her distinctive style remain unchanged. Each exhibition stirs a curious sense of returning to a particular moment in time. And within that familiarity, subtle shifts—barely perceptible—can always be felt. These quiet evolutions are part of her enduring charm.
Natsumi Ito
She is a Japanese artist based in Tokyo. She loves paper and all things related to it. Although her interests often lead her to create photographic works, she is not limited to one medium of expression, but uses a variety of paper-based techniques in her work. Her work is inspired by ordinary days and focuses on emotions and imaginations which express the beauty of everyday life. In other words, her creative output is like a visual diary of life.
As a creator based out of Tokyo, she is primarily active as an art director, graphic designer, and photographer. In recent years, she has also been involved in spatial design, prop styling, illustration, and writing. Natsumi is passionate about creativity and actively engages in a wide range of fields which span outside the realm of one.
