Galerie Clémentine de la Féronnière announces the opening of the second monographic exhibition of Japanese artist Mikiya Takimoto. The exhibition highlights a selection of the artist’s recent works from the series Le Corbusier, Grain of Light, Snow Mountain, and Lumière series.
Photographer and filmmaker born in 1974 in Aichi Japan, Mikiya Takimoto is known for his contemplative approach to space and nature. His work is characterized by a deep reflection on the relationship between man and his environment, in which the principle of mujo resonates, evoking the impermanence of all things. This principle underlines the idea that time, as we conceive it, is illusory. Takimoto’s work, driven by this relationship to time, invites to a serene exploration of solitude.
Takimoto’s work is embodied in landscapes, natural or urban, in which the absence of man intensifies the sensory experience. His landscapes become a place of meditation, where photography goes beyond simple representation to become the vector of a raw and profound emotion.
The exhibition brings together previously unseen works from a photographic work that is rooted in all seven continents. From the thoughtful architecture of Le Corbusier, to the striking photographs of the sea taken from a clifftop in Indonesia in Grain of Light, to the majesty of the snow-capped mountains in Snow Mountain and the vegetation of Kyoto’s temples in Lumiere, the exhibition offers a complete immersion into the unique world of Mikiya Takimoto.
