Shikego Kubota: "I make video, so I am"

Shikego Kubota's aesthetics can register inside the cultural current of western taste that so many followers had among artistic groups of forefront Japanese arised after the Second World War. Versatile artist if ever there was one, Kubota, after a brief incursion in the painting and in the sculpture, embraced Fluxus and, disappointed for feeling misunderstood in his natal Japan, moved to New York, where it developed the rest of his career. Influenced by the Zen one, through John Cage, after "inventing" the video sculpture, she decided not to leave the video as art, as it had done his husband, Nam June Paik.
