NORIO TAKASUGI
It has always been Norio Takasuki’s endeavour to lend three-dimensionality to the photograph. As a photographer, he started late. He actually studied industrial design and sculpture at Musashino Art University in Tokyo and graduated in 1999 as a sculptor. He came to photography indirectly through his grandfather, who had studied photography and later ran a photo studio, which his uncle ran after him, and from that uncle he inherited a Mamiya medium-format camera and a Nikon 35 mm camera, both of which he still uses today. He doesn’t use a 3-D-printer to achieve three-dimensionality. Just as he uses analogue cameras, he also looks for analogue solutions for the task he set himself.
Norio Takasugi, born in 1973 in Japan, studied industrial design and sculpture at the Musashino Art University in Tokyo. Since 2004, he has been working and living in Berlin.
