Hodokete Hanarerue (b. 1989) lives and works in Japan. Her practice spans painting, moving image, and installation. Her work explores attempts to brush past what has been lost at a threshold where presence, absence, reality, memory, and fiction intersect. Through processes of fading, looping, and quiet destruction, her practice attends to moments when objects and images lose their function and become fragile carriers of absence. Painting holds time in a halted state—as residue, as an image where duration has collapsed into stillness. Moving image traces the gradual disappearance of that collapsed duration, unfolding loss through repetition and fading. Installation constructs a situation where this fragmentation becomes spatial, drawing the viewer’s body into a site where the boundary between reality and fiction collapses. Across these media, she is interested in how fragility allows images, memories, and spaces to circulate, return, and quietly persist.
