Born in 1980, Kumamoto. Osaka based.
Umeda’s work focuses on the creation of dynamic environments, through combining existing spaces, architectural constraints, sound, light, and the use of found domestic objects. Often existing outside of the gallery context, Umeda’s dynamic environments impact audience behavior in a way that this in itself becomes part of the art installation. His art installations and performances are regularly exhibited nationally and internationally. Not strictly confined to the art world Umeda has worked across a number of industries, such as architecture, performing arts/theater and music.
