Yoshie Sakai

Yoshie Sakai is a multidisciplinary artist (video, installation, performance, sculpture). She is a colorful and subtly transgressive undercover cultural agent exposing the absurdities of a manipulative social structure while at the same time humorously struggling and reveling in it as a participant, negotiating contemporary social issues of cultural identity, gender roles, and familial and personal relationships. Her videos and installations induce intimate situations between her created personalities and the audience that are pushed to exaggerated and imaginative levels. BFA (CSU Long Beach); MFA (Claremont Graduate University).
