CV
アーティスト。「瞑想的な狩猟」と名付けた自身のフィールドレコーディングを通して、人間と自然との内的で精神的な繋がりを探求する。近年は、知床の流氷、アイスランドの氷河、アマゾン熱帯雨林、世界最大の滝イグアスなどのリサーチを元に、没入的なサウンド・インスタレーション、絵画作品、サウンド・パフォーマンス、音響作品などを国内外で発表している。
主な展覧会・プロジェクトに、「Awasi Art week by LABVERDE」(Awasi Iguazú, イグアス, 2024)、「LABVERDE SPECULATIVE ECOLOGIES RESIDENCY 2023」(マナウス, 2023)、「From Seeing to Acting」(Looiersgracht 60, アムステルダム, 2021)、「道草展：未知とともに歩む」(水戸芸術館, 水戸, 2020)など。音楽作品として、France Jobinとの共作アルバム「Therme Vals」(Vertical Music, ベルリン, 2023)をリリース。
2023年、2024年にロンドンのフィールドレコーディングのアワード「Sound of the Year Awards」を2年連続で受賞。同年、パリのサウンドアワード「Phonurgia Nova 2023 特別賞」受賞。
Kamimura explores the inner and spiritual connections between humans and nature through field recordings titled “Meditative Hunting.” In recent years, he has conducted research on various natural phenomena, including the drift ice in Shiretoko, glaciers in Iceland, the Amazon rainforest, and Iguazú Falls, the world’s largest waterfall. Based on this research, he has presented immersive sound installations, paintings, sound performances, and audio works both domestically and internationally.
