Artists At Play: In the Studio With Ittah Yoda
Brilliant white light deluges into the lofty south-east London studio, illuminating sculptural works in liminal stages which occupy the space around us. This is the studio of Ittah Yoda.
Containing works forming the culmination of an artistic journey towards Paris-born Virgile Ittah and Tokyo-born Kai Yoda’s first wholly collaborative solo exhibition, I Think Mango You Say Salmon at Annka Kultys Gallery. In preparation for this milestone, After Nyne has been welcomed into Ittah Yoda’s creative space to explore the nature of their collaboration.
Described as a ritual process akin to ‘birth’ by Ittah Yoda, the contemporary art duo are in the final trimester of preparation for a radical show which will see, as Virgile Ittah states, the ‘blurring of identity layers and gender layers’ through an entirely collaborative exhibition.
