About

Until 24th January 2016
QUAD Extra Gallery Spaces
Artist and filmmaker Noriko Okaku exhibits a newly commissioned body of work, The Interpreter, produced during a three-month residency at QUAD, in collaboration with Animate Projects and D-LAB. Inspired by Derbyshire’s history, myths and legends, Okaku has created a series of collage works that form a new Tarot, loaded with symbolism, intrigue and mystical imagery. Also presented is a new animation, bringing this new mythical narrative to life.
Noriko Okaku was born in Japan and now lives and works in London. She studied at Chelsea College of Art and Design and the Royal College of Art, completing her MA in Animation in 2005. Her work in various media often retains an element of collage. She borrows, adopts, copies and recycles existing images to explore the eclecticism, mystery and strangeness underlying everyday objects and actions.
