Antagonism of Seeing, ART OSAKA 2022, Expanded section
at MORI YU GALLERY Booth , in Creative Center OSAKA.
Influenced by avant-garde and trials of early video art, Taki has been expressing the relationship between “seeing” and technology of today in his art pieces. When a certain technology goes to be a natural existence such as commodities for consumption, the relation of technology and human being, is led up to a phase of building dialectic of mutual hybrid contacts beyond master and slave relation. On the process of those, “seeing” goes to be separated as “too much seeing” and “too much not seeing.” If these questions on too visible or too invisible, opened in a connection of “ground and object” among sculpture, space, screen and viewer, Taki tries to converge those hybridization and overturning into his piece.

Rendezvous in Syndro-polis, solo show, 2016
In the same way as the advanced medicine makes a human being to be a cyborg, a city that is taken by science technology and controlling structure may also lose something important and organic elements because of high priority of the system. Cityscape shows us externally new and active surface, however it may be an aggregation of the ruins in fact. The images of our daily lives with problems such as poverty, gap, immigration, distinction, struggle, terrorism, economic crisis etc., are projected on our commodities and household electric appliances. There you can see a miniature impressed on wastes and gone. Kentaro Taki, a video artist from Japan, produces his latest installation piece through his first residency in Berlin.

Bach without Border, 2022
4K, 9min.
This film project aimed to set classical music free from some borders by decontextualizing the situation in which it is usually presented. A fixed concert hall is replaced by a mobile bus, acoustic purity is mixed with outside noise and the audience is not necessarily comprised of concert-goers but was there at the time by chance.

Our communication tools seemed to be developed to close to each other by telework or screen new deal, however, those technologies provoke another kind of divisions among us all over the world.
