Born in 1975, Koki Tanaka lives and works in Tokyo. The artist mainly produces video and installation, many of which are developed site-specifically. He often deals with everyday commodities and surroundings with his conceptual approach and subtle control, in order to create a visual sphere that challenges the mundane and the rational embedded in the minds of the viewers. In doing so, he lets the work entice them into a spontaneous aesthetic experience.

He has shown widely in and outside Japan: the Mori Art Museum (Tokyo), the Palais de Tokyo (Paris), the Taipei Biennial (Taipei), the Asia Society (New York), the Museum of Modern Art (New York), and the Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles).
