On February 4, 2025, artist Ko Nakajima passed away at the age of 84. We extend our deepest gratitude for his invaluable contributions to the activities of Keio University Art Center during his lifetime.

Nakajima's practice spanned a wide range of fields, including documentation, animation, photography, video art, sculpture, installation, collectives, commercial advertising, writing, historical research on animation, regional revitalization, and education. If there is one perspective that could embrace such a diversity of contributions,  it might be none other than Nakajima's own ongoing project, "my life".

We express our deepest respect for his incredible spirit and artistic commitment. These fed into his ongoing unfinished work, My Life, a work which embraced the lives of many others, and spanned over fifty years. We send our prayers for his peaceful rest.
