Takahito Kimura, an artist of unprecedented style from Japan, specializing in mixed media, performance art and site-specific art. Kimura has developed a series of works under the theme “playing with the Earth”, focusing on making invisible visible.
There is a discrepancy between what is assumed as common knowledge by everyone, and actual phenomena observed scientifically. Through transforming “natural phenomenon”, the universal language shared by all people throughout the world, into tangible and experimental installation. Kimura represents this discrepancy not only in visual ways, but also in a way people can feel it physically.
Site-specific art is also Kimura’s field of expertise, revealing natural phenomena incorporating regional elements.
