With a background in socio-scientific Japanology and Global Art History, her research examines Asia-Pacific War memories in contemporary Japanese art since the 1990s focusing on artists from the second postwar generation and later, including Ōura Nobuyuki’s “Holding Perspective”, Aida Makoto’s “War Picture Returns” series as well as Dokuyama Bontarō and Fujii Hikaru addressing Japan’s history as a colonial power in Taiwan. Lenz is a JSPS-fellow and will pursue her research at Tokyo University at the end of 2021.
