TOSHIE TAKEUCHI
Toshie Takeuchi (b. 1977, Aichi, Japan) mainly uses photography, video and performance in her works, that are based in theoretical, historical and philosophical research, as well as inspirations from people she interviews. Her main interest lies in exploring our fragile position and ambiguous territory in our physical and/or psychological space. Her works often stem from her own experiences in close and personal environments such as the uncertain relationships between man and animal, the private and the public and/or the self vs. the other as they are always uncertain. Thus, they create duality in man’s identity. Through her artworks, she offers an alternative perception to the viewer when it comes to considering conventional values of property, thereby creating alternate journeys and narratives of thought. Takeuchi lives and works in Copenhagen.
