Hitoshi Nomura

Hitoshi Nomura (born 1945) is a Japanese conceptual artist associated with the Mono-ha (School of Things) movement that emerged in Japan in the late 1960s, which emphasized the relationship between materials, objects, and the space around them. His practice explores the intersection of time, space, and natural phenomena, often incorporating photography, sculpture, and installation to document ephemeral processes. Nomura is particularly noted for works that engage with the passage of time and perception, including his ongoing 'Moon Score' series begun in 1974, which records lunar cycles as a form of musical notation.
