京都を拠点に一年を通じて狩猟や養蜂に取り組み、日常的に猟犬や蜜蜂などの生き物と関わるなかで作品制作を行う。彼らとの関係性、その距離感、都市と自然を行き来するなかで生まれる違和感をエスノグラフィックな視点で捉え、写真や映像、インスタレーションなどの手法で表現する。2022年より養蜂家として「蜜蜂荘」を、2025年より共同アトリエ「蜂の巣」を運営。主な個展に「The Garden」（2023、京都芸術センター）、「The piercing eyes」（2019、Amado Art Space／ソウル、韓国）、主なグループ展に「Future Echoes」（2025、日動コンテンポラリーアート／東京）、「Yeosu International Art Festival」（2024／麗水市、韓国 ）、「第21回シドニービエンナーレ」（2018／オーストラリア ）、「コンニチハ技術トシテノ美術」（2017／せんだいメディアテーク）などがある。

Ami INOUE

Artist, hunter, and beekeeper born in 1991 and currently residing in Kyoto. Inoue holds a master’s degree from the Graduate School of Film and New Media, Tokyo University of the Arts.

Based in Kyoto, she engages in hunting and beekeeping throughout the year alongside her creative practice.

Surrounded by hunting dogs, honeybees, and other living things in her daily life, Inoue considers her relationships with them – as well as her sense of distance from them – from an ethnographical perspective, expressing these through various media such as photographs, video, and installations.

She has managed the apiary “Mitsubachi Sou [Honeybee Cottage]” since 2022, and the shared studio space “Hachi no Su [The Beehive]” since 2025.

Her recent major solo exhibitions include “The Garden” (2023; Kyoto Art Center, Kyoto) and “The piercing eyes” (2019; Amado Art Space, Seoul, S. Korea). She has also participated in group exhibitions such as “Future Echoes” (2025; nichido contemporary art, Tokyo), “Yeosu International Art Festival” (2024; Yeosu, S. Korea), “21st Biennale of Sydney” (2018; Cockatoo Island, Australia) and “nice to meet you artechnik” (2017; sendai mediatheque, Miyagi).
