Ryo Kajitani is a Tokyo-based artist and queer art model. Their nonbinary and asexual identity informs both their modeling presence and artistic practice. 🏳️🌈
Kajitani holds a Ph.D. in Arts from Tama Art University, where their studies included oil based printmaking and research focused on ontological aesthetics especially Heidegger's theory of art.
Now working as an art model and designer in Tokyo, Kajitani integrates their background in printmaking and modeling into a photographic practice that merges analog and computational methods (Python). Notable recent recognition includes the Montage Award at Meta Morph AI Awards (UK, 2024) and the Asian Digital Art Award FUKUOKA (Japan, 2024).
Drawing from personal experiences of assault, they also engage in international humanitarian aid, supporting orphans and ex-offenders reintegrating into society.
