酒井貴史 | TAKAFUMI SAKAI

Since 2009, he has been creating works involving the exchange and transfer of unwanted items, such as "Butsubutsu Kokan-jo" (Barter Exchange) and "World Osagari Center" (World Hand-Me-Down Center). While he initially explained his works within the context of recycling and ecology, around 2012, recommended by a friend, he played FromSoftware's Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, which strongly influenced him through their game design and scenarios. Since then, he has begun adding indigenous belief-like settings to the collection and transfer of unwanted items.
