Mikiya Takimoto, a photographer and filmmaker born in 1974 in Aichi, is known for his contemplative approach to space and nature. His work is characterized by a deep reflection on the relationship between humans and their environment, resonating with the principle of mujo, which evokes the impermanence of all things. This principle highlights the idea that time, as we perceive it, is an illusion. Takimoto’s work, guided by this perception of time, invites a serene exploration of solitude.
Takimoto’s art takes shape in landscapes, both natural and urban, where the absence of human presence intensifies the sensory experience. His landscapes become spaces of meditation, where photography goes beyond mere representation to become a conduit for raw and profound emotion.
The exhibition brings together previously unseen works from a photographic journey spanning six continents. From the thoughtfully designed architecture of Le Corbusier to the striking seascapes captured from a cliff in Indonesia in Grain of Light, and from the majesty of the snow-covered mountains in Snow Mountain to the lush vegetation of Kyoto’s temples in Lumière, the exhibition offers a complete immersion into the singular world of Mikiya Takimoto.
