Born in 1960 in Fukuoka (Japan), he lives in New York (USA).

 

After studying sociology, anthropology and psychoanalysis, Noritoshi Hirakawa began an artistic career in 1968. In his work, he openly raises the question of the forms of repression and control of desire, of the taboos linked to the representation of sexuality. 

 

Specially created for the Printemps de Cahors, his installation, which involves the active participation of the spectator, is based on the idea of intimacy in the contemporary context of generalised voyeurism.
