Hodokete Hanarerue (b. 1989) lives and works in Japan. Her practice spans painting, video, and installation. Her work explores attempts to brush past disappeared people and lost objects at a threshold where presence, absence, reality, memory, and fiction intersect. Shaped by a physical condition that limits mobility and sustained presence, her practice attends, through processes of fading, looping, and quiet destruction, to moments when objects and images lose their function and become fragile carriers of absence. She is interested in how fragility allows images, memories, and spaces to circulate, return, and quietly persist.

Her recent projects have been shown in SICF26 (Spiral Independent Creators Festival), and her work continues to develop through an ongoing investigation of how emotional traces survive within the everyday. She is currently developing a new body of work that deepens her exploration of absence, fragmented memory, and the shifting boundaries of the self.
