[上映プログラム]
| vol.1 Kentaro TAKI Video Collage/Puzzling 7 Nov.(fri) 2014 19:30-21:30 |
the Stolen Air （1998, 5min.） TV images are appearing and disappearing one after another. ”Stealing those seemingly unrelated=sampling”,“images=music", and "played = collaged".
War on TV （1999, 5min.）War-images are persistently distributed through mass media.Seeking in to what is found in the images of these reconstruction and acceleration. There is a resemblance between war and peace. War for information/ information of the war.
Radio Lantern(2000, 5min) this is a performance with using radio and video camera. Performer operates a radio with turning knob of it. The sounds come from speaker, and performer plays music with shaking and shutting out this speaker. Audiences can't listen to the music as original itself.
Exchangeable Cities （2002, 8min.）To represent and recompose the fake city assembled with many elements of the world. The spectacularization of the city has same meaning with the overflowing of the images.
Prologue（2004, 8min.） An experiment of video/media. Interpreting the media society and globalizing world, and capturing the modern city image as disguise. The first chapter from 32minutes video work "Fort of the Fabrications".
Living in the Box -dimension （2010-13, 10min.） Body parts are displayed as specimens in white boxes. Those body parts, moving slightly as they are searching for something with in each isolated box, recalls the physical and psychological blockages in modern life.
Tangram（2011, 3min.11sec.） The videos from everyday life becomes pieces of the puzzles. As turning and combining these pieces together, artist forms the time he lived and perceived. Shot before and after theearthquake on 3.11.
Hymne AXochipilli/du Japon （2013, 2min.50sec.） A sonic poetry reading. The performer’s voice echoes into the theater against innumerable information/images flooded in an urban space in Tokyo. Homage to Maurice Lemaitre, artist/filmmaker of Lettrisme.
Video Symphonia (2014, 3min) A symphony played by the bustle of urban space and video noise. The latest piece of Kentaro Taki.

between the images（ 2002, 10min.）Using the clips from everyday life, this work unravels the elements of video, which are imagery , sound, and the text. Audiences are tested to see what they view between those fragments.
SHOT from Video of Maldoror SHOT （2007, 10min.47sec.）One of the chapter of the critical study piece of audio and the video, "Video or Maldoror". Including the imagery of microphone being dragged on the floor, the distraction of the camera lens, and the footage of N.Y. city during the 9.11.
the figure in the future （2009, 11min.） Produced in Sydney, Australia, this work seeks for the relationship between our “future” and the moving imagery. With the power of video to record, this work attempts to express the “future” as replacing the time.
FREE DVD FOR FREE （2012, 6min.） Produced in Sydney, Australia, this work seeks for the relationship between our “future” and the moving imagery. With the power of video to record, this work attempts to express the “future” as replacing the time.
timeless video: 1 / 100*100 （2013, 9min.）This project starts with distributing the artist’s DVD to people on the street. People can bring back the work to their own private house to view it. It’s a study of what free art DVD indicates in this present society full of internet movies.
in the twinkling of an eye （2013, 6min.）Here, Video will be chopped off and re-presented.All the fragments of the moment of the video and audio are perceived at the same period of the time. Through the logical perception of the video, present the limitations of human perception and its possibilities to expand.
scission ¦ overlays （2014, 10min.）In this work, an artist splits the video and audio, stagger the playing time, watching and hearing all the moment and pieces at the same period of time. A moment becomes eternal, and the eternal becomes instant. And soon, we start to lose the boundaries between the “single” and “multiple”.
