Ami Yamasaki is a vocalist and cross-media artist from Tokyo. She creates installations, performance pieces and directs films.

With primal vocals and movement, Yamasaki explores the relationship between us and our universe. Her art explores a fundamental question: "How does the world construct itself?" For her, the asking of this question is a love letter to life itself, more important than any answers that it yields.

As a vocalist, Yamasaki has collaborated with psychedelic rock icon Keiji Haino and provided original music for choreographer Makoto Matsushima. Her elaborate installations have been featured in art spaces across Japan. Yamasaki’s short films evoke a passionate response and have received critical acclaim.

In 2011 Yamasaki was invited to New York by the Reanimation Library and Proteus Gowanus, to participate in the opening of their Migration exhibition. She created a site-specific piece comprised of thousands of white paper feathers that cover the interior in vortex-like patterns. Yamasaki sings as she works, and the patterns she creates are a direct response to acoustic feedback she receives as each feather she applies alters the dynamics of the space. She sings, pastes, listens and—in her own words—“little by little, the space begins to make its own music.”
