Yoshinori Niwa (丹羽良徳, born in 1982, Aichi Prefecture, Japan) is a Japanese artist currently based in Vienna, Austria. His practice primarily consists of social interventions performed in public spaces, as well as mediums in video, performance, and installation. Niwa's art often carries humorous and provocative undertones, employing direct and slogan-like titles to explore and critique contemporary societal and capitalist structures. His work investigates collective behavior, social norms, and political themes, sometimes drawing on the absurd to challenge established systems.
