Hiromi Nishimoto

Nishiko (Hiromi Nishimoto) is a Japanese mixed media and conceptual artist born in Kagoshima in 1981, based in The Hague since 2006, where her studio is at the artist initiative Billytown. She trained at Tokyo Zokei University and the Royal Academy of Art The Hague (KABK).

Her work explores coincidences and happenings — framing stories of chance that arise from everyday objects and situations. Rather than leading a story, she concentrates on framing and emphasising, allowing the audience to connect directly with the subject.

Her most sustained project, the Repairing Earthquake Project (2011–present), explores ways to repair the damage of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Most recently she was at EKWC (2025). She already visited Arita last autumn.
