Sena Sasaki


Sena Sasaki (b. 1990, Tokyo) is based in Hokkaido.

Sasaki’s works bring together political history and personal biography. Working across sculpture, painting, and video, he uses repetition as a method for tracing memory and the lingering force of archival histories. The interplay of repetition and time, and the use of site-specific materials and gestures shape his practice.

Recent exhibitions include Petrine, Düsseldorf (2025); Petrine, Paris (2024); Bel Ami, Los Angeles (2021); and Commercial Street, Los Angeles (2021).
