MACHIDA Lina

​

Artist / Somatic Drawing
My practice, which involves animation, has been presented in cinemas and exhibitions across more than 20 countries.
Focusing on themes such as not losing loss and the hesitant body, I translate the subtle responses to the environment — and their traces that emerge through repetitive bodily acts — into works.
I also founded MOVOP, a platform dedicated to moving-image media.
