Akio Suzuki

The visual and sound artist Akio Suzuki was born in 1941 in Pyongyang, North Korea and grew up in Aichi, Japan. In the 1960s he began to make field recordings of natural sounds, which eventually led him to construct his own instruments, which he sets in large installations that function as exhibitions in themselves. Since 1989 he has collaborated with the dancer Junko Wada.
