Graduated from Nihon University College of Art Cinema Course, SHIMADA Sayaka currently is in a doctoral program at the Tokyo University of the Arts and focuses on creating video works and installations. While she was studying in college, her fascination towards fireworks and their energy brought herself into the fireworks show designing where she also has been building a career as a designer. By conducting inter-disciplinary research on various aspects of fireworks from the composing elements to physicality, pyrotechnics, cultural and historical backgrounds, and reconstructing those findings, SHIMADA attempts to bring new awareness and to shed the light to social issues. She also creates works using phenomena such as fire, lightning, radiation, and water as her motifs. She has participated in notable fireworks festivals in Japan and abroad as a director.
