Rieko Akatsuka (b.1965, Tokyo) lives and works in Tokyo and London. She is interested in exploring timelessness and liminal space where life and death co-exist. In recent years, she has been working with neon sculptures as well as with meticulously constructed miniature dioramas using visual material created by and related to her late parents, including items which belonged to them.

She has exhibited numerous times at Danielle Arnaud. Group exhibitions include Dai Neon Ten - Find New Wave, Tokyo Tower, Tokyo (2024), Destroying the Former Office Building of Fujio Productions, Tokyo (2022), Manga, British Museum (2019) and Bichutsu Ten, Bank Gallery, Tokyo/PARCO, Fukuoka, Japan (2015).
