(b.1982, Japan) Kota Takeuchi develops his activity across temporal and spatial divides in the conceptual method of parallel bodies and possession. Tracing lost histories, working in separated areas, he does research, production and performance come together in the unified actions. Touching the people' memories such buildings, monuments, sculptures, archives, interviews with local historians and eyewitnesses, he pursues the images by recent modern means such as internet map apps, live streaming video, and UAV(drone) cameras. Exploring the relationship between media and human natures, the works give simulated sharing experiences with the artist himself and the viewers. Recent exhibitions include "Waiting for the WInd. Tokyo Contemporary Art Award 2021-2023" (with Lieko Shiga, Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo), "Roppongi Crossing 2022: Coming & Going"(Mori Art Museum), and others.
