Ikemura first moved to Europe in the 1970s. She studied Spanish Literature in Sevilla before becoming interested in sculpture, which eventually led her to study at the city’s Academy of Fine Arts. Her path subsequently took her from Spain to Switzerland and Germany—first Cologne, then Berlin. During our conversation with the artist, we therefore also delve into the topic of language, which, given her background and fluency in four tongues, is of great importance for Ikemura.
