This video installation centers on interviews about photographs of others and images eroded by water. Footage of people speaking about photos of strangers disrupts the idea of the self in possession of memory and experience, while video projections employing wet printed matter, projected from the reverse side of the screen, emphasize the instability of the individual as image. In a space that shifts along with the viewer’s shadow, the work creates time for reflecting on the mind and body as ambiguous vessels, and questions how the boundaries of the cognition might be expanded.

Profile

Takemasa Tomoko produces work grounded in the narratives and photographs of others, centering her practice on the question of what defines the self as an individual within society. She explores the manifestation of uncertainty using a technique in which printed matter is wetted on a light source and photographed as images emerge and vanish. Recent exhibitions: “IAMNOWHERE,” U-Style Building, Aomori, 2025, “UNKNOWN,” Arai Associates, Tokyo, 2023.
