Kasumi, a 2011 Guggenheim Fellow and director of the critically acclaimed experimental feature film, Shockwaves, is an artist working most recently in cinematic assemblage, taking the visual and auditory components of our culture and reconstituting them as bold representations of the human experience. The mysteries of cognition and the human ability to think in metaphor have become frequent themes in her work. She uses traditional and modern media to imagine the complex processes of the human brain, synthesizing different methods of expression into a metaphorical language that resembles the stream of messages and subconscious connections making up human perception. SAIGAI | My celebration of receiving a 2011 Guggenheim Fellowship is tempered by the ongoing catastrophe in Japan. For this reason Ive created SAIGAI, an elegy for the lost and deceased. ....Kasumi is a Creative Workforce Fellow. The Creative Workforce Fellowship is a program of the community partnership for Arts and Culture, made possible by the generous support of Cuyahoga County citizens through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture.
