Besondere Anforderungen an die Partnerorganisation

Would you be interested in working with our creative atelier to create an exhibition funded by the Czech-German Future Fund?

For our proposed project, we love the idea of centering a new body of sound-based installation work in community hubs along the Czech-German border. That being said, we are enthusiastic about meeting new people and trying something new! We are flexible and curious to hear any advice you may have for us. 

Über uns

We are UOZUMI ATELIER, a husband and wife creative duo Kiyomi and Tetsuhiro Uozumi who have lived and worked in Berlin, Germany since 2007.

Our core concept centers on an obsession with mystery and its effect on human behavior. We obsessively collect and combine objects that are overlooked and discarded by, for example, members of a specific culture, time period, or remote neighborhood. These objects are forgotten and seen by no one, yet each holds valuable traces of their previous lives. Atelier Uozumi produces a wide variety of work including drawings, sculptures, and prints, as well as large-scale installations focusing on sound and light.


Recently, we have received international acclaim for our fabricated “experiences”, which ultimately culminate in a series of long-term public installation works. These enigmatic works begin with sourcing materials through the solicitation of unwanted objects from surrounding communities. This interdependent relationship is formed through intentionally mysterious means, such as spreading rumors or mass-mailing illustrated letters. Curious participants are invited to gather at a familiar public space to experience it anew–dramatically lit arrangements of objects paired with arresting audio recordings of daily human life.

Wir planen

We are flexible.
We feel it is essential to match our location and community. We look forward to working with you to make a project that fits us both. Please visit our Instagram to get a sense of our past community installation projects!
