Tei Kobayashi is a conceptual artist who is interested in the socio-politico-economic issues related to the environments where she inserts site-specific sculptural installations and performances. She presents an intimate look into her own spirituality with her body; making artistic proclamations within the realms of her sculptural installation works.

In 2010 she participated in the Biennale of the Americas in Denver, Colorado, USA, where she created an site-specific installation titled “Remembering the Forgotten”, a shelter for the homeless with a performance honoring homeless women and their children.
