N.E. One &c. (est. 2023, Brussels, Belgium), pronounced ‘anyone et cetera’, is a duo formed by artists Luciana Janaqui (*1987, Lima, Peru) and Yuki Okumura (*1978, Aomori, Japan). Presented here are seven works from the series ‘Identity-Transformation’, proposing different ways to transform one’s identity drawn from various experiments conceived and executed by one (or sometimes both) of the two artists in their respective practices. The unitary format is after the one that Canadian artist duo N.E Thing Co. employed to render each of their diverse projects equally as a piece of ‘Information’. While NETCO’s original ones resembled pages of a company’s product catalogue, NEO&C’s entries are rather akin to a collection of recipes, encouraging anyone to try them out.
