Biography
The duo Ittah Yoda, composed of Virgile Ittah (b. 1984 in Paris, lives and works in Paris) and Kai Yoda (b. 1985 in Tokyo, lives and works in Paris), creates polysensory and therapeutic storytelling to envisage the post-anthropocene world where the natural and the digital realms interweave, fuse, and co-evolve in the dawn of ‘symbiocene'. Their sculptures, paintings, and installations echoing organic forms and materials and transcending the temporal—informed by virtual reality and information technology—are developed through intercultural creative collaborations with various artisans, manifesting into interconnected vessels that embody and share 'genetic-artistic' information from their environment. Their recent solo exhibitions include Galerie Poggi, Paris (2023), Galerie Foreign & Domestic, New York (2022), Double Séjour, Poush Manifesto, Paris (2021), Rupert at Apiece, Vilnius (2021), La Petite Galerie, Cite International des Arts, Paris (2020), among others. Their recent group exhibitions include ROH Projects, Jakarta (2024), Hagiwara Projects, Tokyo (2024), Poush, Aubervilliers (2024), Posh x Zhi Art Museum, Chengdu (2024), Bally Foundation, Lugano (2024), Poush x Collection Lambert, Avignon (2023 & 2024), Le Couvent des Jacobins, Burgundy (2023), Grand Palais Éphémère, Paris (2022 & 2023), Musée des Beaux Arts d’Angers, Angers (2023), Centre Culturel Jean Cocteau (2023), Centre International d’Art et du Paysage, Île de Vassivière, Beaumont Du-Lac (2023), among others.
