Hiromi Kiba (they/them) is a NYC-based artist, born in Ise, Japan. Growing up in a small fishing town on the Kii Peninsula, Kiba discovered freedom early on through records, fashion, punk gigs, and nights spent on the dance floor. What began as a teenage dream of spinning vinyl has come full circle, with Kiba now performing as a DJ. The mirror ball has followed them since art school in 1990's, appearing again and again in their visual work. Twenty years later, music's deep impact on their spiritual and mental health inspired them to revisit memories, break them open, and tell new stories. Dancing became a kind of therapy that eventually led to their first poem, Mirror Ball. Today, Kiba’s interdisciplinary practice moves fluidly between poetry, printmaking, sound, performance, costume, video, and installation. Since 2019, they have been exploring performance as live poetry, often in collaboration with visual and sound artists, weaving languages, rhythms, and images into shared moments.​

 

キバヒロミ(they/them)は、伊勢市生まれ、ニューヨーク在住のアーティスト/レコードDJ。紀伊半島沿いの漁師町で育ち、10代の頃からレコード、ファッション、パンクギグ、クラブ文化に創造的な「出口」を見い出した。現在はヴァイナルDJとしても活動し、高校卒業後に一度離れた表現の原点に立ち戻っている。ミラーボールは、アートスクール時代から繰り返し登場する象徴的なイメージ。20年の時を経て、ようやくその記憶を共有し、詩や映像、音、パフォーマンスなど、さまざまなフォーマットで再構築しはじめた。音楽は精神と心の深層に働きかけ、ダンスは癒しの力を持つ。それが、初の詩『ミラーボール』を生み出す原動力となった。キバの実践は、詩、パフォーマンス、映像、インスタレーション、版画など、多分野にまたがる。2019年以降、ビジュアルやサウンドアーティストたちとのコラボレーションによる詩的パフォーマンスの実験を重ねている。
