YOSUKE TAKEDA – ARISE
2016-05-16Centering on the theme of “photography” as the basis of his practice, Yosuke Takeda has continued to exhibit and present works that examine its trajectory from multiple perspectives. Takeda explores the fundamental materials comprising the photograph such as the camera and photographic paper as well as the light as a medium that serves to connect them, at times further engaging in an investigation of various means of photographic reproduction from data to photobooks that in turn influence the very conditions of photography. For Takeda, the photograph is a “complex entity that is brought into existence through the combining of and a mutual intervention between the image and the support medium;” a notion essentially cultivated through his physical memories of working in the darkroom.
