For prints or inquiries: ︎ On Luxury beyond Death seriesTakemura gives us a simple yet insightful look into a prominent ritual surrounding death in Vietnam. A compelling reflection upon modern day consumerism, Luxury Beyond Death highlights how relatives burn paper offerings at the graves of the deceased with the belief that they will need the same luxury items that they had when they were still living. The project highlights our obsession with consumerism whilst simultaneously raising questions about what awaits us in the afterlife.

&nbsp; The series celebrate the bizarre shelf life of canned food. The contents of a can begin as perishable matter that would quickly spoil if left as they are. Through processing and canning, decay is postponed and time is sealed out. What should have been temporary is forced into endurance. Removed from their containers and solidified, these contents appear as unintentional sculptures shaped by human desire displaying the denial of decay, gestures of quiet violence against time. <img

[日] 『Born For Such A Time As This』 は、Amazonでキリスト教関連のグッズ (安価な量産品) を40点余り購入し撮影した写真シリーズを中心に、関連文化・歴史とリサーチの記録、同名の出版物で構成される。単なる「モノ」として大量生産された製品に「神聖さ」という付加価値が付けられ、ECサイトを中心とした市場経済でグッズとして流通している様子を記録した。 「神聖」という目に見えない性質を利用することで「価値」を創造する現代資本主義の構造に注目し、宗教と消費主義がどのように結びつき、影響し合っているかを考察する。 あらゆるものが商品化される消費社会に生きる私たちにとって、生活の隅々まで浸透した市場経済の見えざる手は、さながら神に代わる超自然的存在のようである。 タイトルの 『Born For Such A Time As This』 は「あなたはこのような時代のために生まれたのだろう」(エステル記4:14)という旧約聖書の一節に由来する。 状況が切迫しているとしても、全てのものごとは神が定めた目的のためにこの世に存在する、という意味のこの言葉に依るならば、これらの商品も神の計画の一部ということになる。 キリスト教抑圧体制を敷く中国で大量生産された顔の歪んだマリア像や、1本9ドルのヨルダン川の聖水もまた、神によって「この時代のために」存在するものなのだろうか。同名の出版物の中では、植民地支配におけるホワイトウォッシュ現象が生んだ「白人のキリスト」と、現代も続くキリストの表象の歪みや、 破損したマリア像を郵送後、架空の住所と名前を残して消えた販売者の詐欺行為の実例など、リサーチと制作過程の記録を併せてまとめている。作品の基底にはカトリック系ミッションスクールで15 年を過ごした武村のキリスト教への強い関心がある。 https://kyokotakemura.net/Luxury-beyond-Death Sun, 30 Oct 2022 20:43:53 +0000 Kyoko Takemura https://kyokotakemura.net/Luxury-beyond-Death Luxury beyond Death <img width="5000" height="3570" width_o="5000" height_o="3570" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8200300fe59a8845fdc10fa2c81bfdb7ecfe96d983006dc0f5fd5ac3bf0f0276/top_lux.jpeg" data-mid="160512333" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8200300fe59a8845fdc10fa2c81bfdb7ecfe96d983006dc0f5fd5ac3bf0f0276/top_lux.jpeg" /> Luxury beyond Death - Ghost Money I 2018 The series portrays the paper offerings traditionally burned in funeral rituals across East and Southeast Asia to send money and material goods to the deceased in the afterlife. Alongside ghost money resembling legal tender, paper offerings replicate everyday necessities such as clothing and household goods, often imitating luxury brands like Rolex and Nike. The project highlights our obsession with consumerism whilst simultaneously raising questions about what awaits us in the afterlife. Ghost money is worthless to the living, and the billions we generate will be equally useless to us once we die. So what’s truly valuable in life? And if there is an afterlife, how do we know that this is not it? <img width="3000" height="2143" width_o="3000" height_o="2143" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4ba7d3a26c907a834c63a8f07ab3687a65833d435932ea80289385c3fe388bdf/1.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" data-mid="160513132" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4ba7d3a26c907a834c63a8f07ab3687a65833d435932ea80289385c3fe388bdf/1.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2143" width_o="3000" height_o="2143" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b1764b85da39ffb92805ca0f26cf0b14450a5102d5d6f6cf454929b5b13f3875/2.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" data-mid="160513066" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b1764b85da39ffb92805ca0f26cf0b14450a5102d5d6f6cf454929b5b13f3875/2.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2143" width_o="3000" height_o="2143" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/88702a08530b3d5f7202f11f94a6ea56d96a5060818565b6feb072f7a27ea84a/6.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" data-mid="160513084" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/88702a08530b3d5f7202f11f94a6ea56d96a5060818565b6feb072f7a27ea84a/6.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2142" width_o="3000" height_o="2142" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/583b888f3c72094f863779b345010a7dd062404194abe9f0ced293eff76976d0/Dollar.jpeg" data-mid="160513516" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/583b888f3c72094f863779b345010a7dd062404194abe9f0ced293eff76976d0/Dollar.jpeg" /> <img width="3000" height="2143" width_o="3000" height_o="2143" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/af18434b0500483fbff14ea8131dbbe86c6063fe00ce191d6e0bfff05028c152/3.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" data-mid="160513553" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/af18434b0500483fbff14ea8131dbbe86c6063fe00ce191d6e0bfff05028c152/3.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2143" width_o="3000" height_o="2143" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ab60dbb24958e2ff8d2c6230a51ff3b91372124f5a8fca4aa5149d23a7eaef1/4.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" data-mid="160513588" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9ab60dbb24958e2ff8d2c6230a51ff3b91372124f5a8fca4aa5149d23a7eaef1/4.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2145" width_o="3000" height_o="2145" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/449460a1e9918182aa5a899f7ae0bec96673916e32e467b5304de278d23e830d/5.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" data-mid="160513594" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/449460a1e9918182aa5a899f7ae0bec96673916e32e467b5304de278d23e830d/5.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2143" width_o="3000" height_o="2143" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fee19dc7519e0dd458eb25eaf0fb4758b048a1b8648db71357d0de5e58d58db9/7.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" data-mid="160513628" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fee19dc7519e0dd458eb25eaf0fb4758b048a1b8648db71357d0de5e58d58db9/7.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2142" width_o="3000" height_o="2142" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bee9960d04fb123d4476ee40e72e3c2d63cc8f7606aab2abe1558adcb90c24d6/9.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" data-mid="160513146" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bee9960d04fb123d4476ee40e72e3c2d63cc8f7606aab2abe1558adcb90c24d6/9.Kyoko-Takemura.jpg" />The subjects were sourced from a Vietnamese market in Berlin. 台湾やベトナムなどのアジア諸国には、親族が故人のために 身の回り品の紙の模型や偽物の紙幣「冥銭」を燃やす習慣があり、 天に昇る煙を介して死者に物資を届けることができるとされている。 肉体を去った意識はあの世で再び身体を手に入れるのだろうか？死後の世界におけるナイキやロレックスなどのブランド物、札束の価値とは？ 死者のための冥銭はこの世では役に立たないが、この世で「本物の」通貨もまた 死んでしまえば紙切れにすぎない。生きていれば億万の価値も 死ぬ時はゴミに等しいのならば、本当の価値はどこに存在するのか？ 私たちは死の向こう側を知ることができない。であれば、私たちが生きているこの世界が ある次元から見た死後の世界である可能性は否定できるだろうか？ 消費社会に生きる人間の物質的な豊かさへの執着に焦点を当てながら、 死の向こうで私たちを待ち受けるものについて考える。 https://kyokotakemura.net/A-Taste-of-Ostalgie Sun, 30 Oct 2022 10:17:52 +0000 Kyoko Takemura https://kyokotakemura.net/A-Taste-of-Ostalgie A Taste of Ostalgie <img width="2028" height="3000" width_o="2028" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9f137bd9445d504eee56b05568090b2bd91186af213e3a165e5823548d7e13f4/GDR2.jpeg" data-mid="160515484" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9f137bd9445d504eee56b05568090b2bd91186af213e3a165e5823548d7e13f4/GDR2.jpeg" /> <img width="3391" height="5000" width_o="3391" height_o="5000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6dc93b743063cd6fc298e9712ec4854f8c98a7ac435aa25a90a472c8d03a7ec1/GDR3-latest.jpg" data-mid="170962318" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6dc93b743063cd6fc298e9712ec4854f8c98a7ac435aa25a90a472c8d03a7ec1/GDR3-latest.jpg" /> A Taste of Ostalgie - Zülze,&nbsp;Schokoladen Suppe/ Chocolate Soup 35x 26cm | Fine art print on Barita paperPhotography &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Ostalgie - a portmanteau of the German words for ‘nostalgia’ and ‘east’ - is a trend found in eastern Germany, signifying nostalgia for life in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). The series explores foodstuffs and recreates the dishes that were common in the GDR, often born out of necessity in a ‘planned economy’ where people faced constant food shortages. The majority of cultural icons of the GDR disappeared with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Ostalgie is a longing for the down-to-earth aspects of a bygone era, if not for the injustices committed by the regime. Remembering the GDR period is always accompanied by ambivalence; melancholy and defiance. <img width="3000" height="2061" width_o="3000" height_o="2061" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/264999e38eaef6a2e8e9d29c728f15b638b4f0fef2afdff61021dec1c5c6d535/GDR4_.jpeg" data-mid="160515542" border="0" data-scale="74" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/264999e38eaef6a2e8e9d29c728f15b638b4f0fef2afdff61021dec1c5c6d535/GDR4_.jpeg" /> A Taste of Ostalgie - Sauer Ei / Sour Eggs 35x 26cm | Fine art print on Barita paperPhotography <img width="2755" height="4000" width_o="2755" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cd4208c583a095241d9c22eafc584fcde2a520aefdbd5c1de9f0da9b443397f0/GDR5-latest-2023.jpg" data-mid="170966223" border="0" data-scale="54" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cd4208c583a095241d9c22eafc584fcde2a520aefdbd5c1de9f0da9b443397f0/GDR5-latest-2023.jpg" /> A Taste of Ostalgie - Ketwurst&nbsp; 26x 34cm | Fine art print on Barita paperPhotography The creativity of GDR citizens in developping their own dishes with the available resources is addressed in these meals.

ドイツ分裂時代の旧東ドイツの家庭において一般的だった食事を再現したシリーズ。Ostalgieとは旧東ドイツの文化や生活を懐かしむ近年の風潮を指す。 社会主義政権による計画経済のために慢性的な食糧不足に直面していた東ドイツの人々は、限られた食材を使って独自の料理を生み出した。にんじんや玉ねぎ、じゃがいもなどを除いて新鮮な野菜や果物を入手することが困難だった当時、庶民の食卓の大部分を占めたのはパン、肉、卵、マーガリン、瓶詰め・缶詰食品などであった。 経済破綻、秘密警察による抑圧や監視、亡命を試みる者の銃殺など、現在も旧東ドイツには暗いイメージがつきまとい、ドイツの文化や歴史を語る際には触れられないことが多い。 1990年のベルリンの壁崩壊後、東ドイツ民主共和国は消滅し、同時にその文化的アイコンの大部分は姿を消した。 消えていく食文化の中に、失われた国の社会の様相や、それに適応してみせた庶民の知恵と創造性を見ることができる。

Housewife, US, 1952&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; right: Сверстницы (Female Age-Mates), USSR, 1959Films both made in 1950s during the Cold War, reflecting contrasting feminine ideals.左：『How To Be a Housewife』（米 1952年）　右：『Сверстницы』（ソ連1959年） いずれも冷戦下の1950年代に制作された作品であり、米ソの対照的な女性の理想像が描写されている。 （EN） Using the ‘Shopping Girl’ mascot, a feminine figure commonly printed on Taiwanese snack packaging, as a visual anchor, the project investigates how socially prescribed feminine ideals persist silently in everyday objects, outliving the context that produced them, revealing the subtle tension between past expectations and present realities. The shopping girl archetype, a round-faced, smiling, often wearing an apron and carrying a basket or products, draws on post-war American ideals of domestic femininity. During the Cold War, this figure embodied the cheerful, service-oriented housewife promoted as part of a vision of modern life in which capitalism promised convenience, abundance, and happiness. In Japan, under US occupation, this visual culture was adopted and transformed into character forms, integrated into print media and everyday objects. The character representing Japan’s interpretation of American modern life subsequently reached Taiwan, where Japanese visual culture remained influential after the end of colonial rule and re-circulated. Today, the image continues to circulate through packaging and printed materials, passing unnoticed and unquestioned even as social norms around femininity have shifted. <img width="1023" height="719"

Girl）這一常見於臺灣零食包裝上的女性吉祥物作為視覺核心，本計畫探討社會所規範的理想女性形象如何潛藏於日常物件之中，並且在原有時代脈絡消逝之後仍持續存在，揭示過去的社會期待與當下現實之間的微妙張力。 典型的「購物女孩」圓潤的臉龐、帶著微笑，常穿著圍裙並手提籃子或商品、源自戰後美國對家庭女性氣質的理想想像。在冷戰時期，這個形象體現了一種愉悅、以服務為導向的家庭主婦形象，並被納入對現代生活的願景之中：在這樣的想像裡，資本主義承諾帶來便利、豐盛與幸福。在美國佔領時期的日本，這種視覺文化被引入且轉化為角色化的形象，進一步融入印刷媒體與日常物件之中。 反映日本對美國現代生活詮釋的此一角色形象隨後傳入臺灣。在殖民統治結束之後，日本的視覺文化在臺灣仍持續發揮影響並再次流通。時至今日，這樣的圖像依然透過包裝與印刷品不斷流傳，在人們未曾察覺與質疑之下延續存在，即使關於女性氣質的社會規範早已發生轉變。（日）台湾の食品包装袋に印刷されている笑顔の女性像「ショッピング・ガール」を出発点とし、このありふれたアイコンが戦後アメリカから日本を経て現代の台湾へとどのように伝播してきたのかを辿るリサーチ・プロジェクト。過去の社会が規定した「理想の女性像」が、現代においても日常的な風景の中に息づき続けている様子を考察する。 戦後・冷戦期のアメリカは、資本主義が利便性や豊かさ、幸福を約束するとし、そのシンボルとしてシステムキッチンや家電のほか、夫や子供のために明るく奉仕する「家庭的な主婦像」を宣伝に利用した。 この50年代アメリカの主婦のイメージは、米国占領下の日本において、商業イラストレーションやキャラクターデザインに取り入れられ、笑顔でエプロンを身につけ、買い物かごや食料品を抱えた女の子「ショッピング・ガール」が広告やパッケージデザインの中に定着していった。 その後、この女性像は植民地支配終了後も日本の視覚文化が大きな影響力を持ち続けた台湾へと伝わり、さまざまな形で流通していった。 「ショッピングガール」は今日の台湾でも包装紙などの日常的に目にする消費財の中に埋め込まれている。その歴史的な起源が人々の記憶から薄れた後も意識を向けられることなく受け継がれ、女性らしさに対する過去の価値観を静かに再生産し続けている。 <img width="913" height="1461" width_o="913" height_o="1461"

これらの魚は生命の去った空の容れ物であり、私たち全員が行き着くところでもある。 Concept, Styling: Kyoko TakemuraPhotography: Nick Dunne https://kyokotakemura.net/Odd-Recipes Sun, 30 Oct 2022 23:11:02 +0000 Kyoko Takemura https://kyokotakemura.net/Odd-Recipes Odd Recipes <img width="4000" height="2686" width_o="4000" height_o="2686" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a24397bf1e3b90a704c3aa4db2e882566fa9f9c0281937139568488892d590f5/odd2.jpg" data-mid="157452184" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a24397bf1e3b90a704c3aa4db2e882566fa9f9c0281937139568488892d590f5/odd2.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2686" width_o="4000" height_o="2686" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f4055b28a1161a9f3a545d3a16e4c3de02cf3cf0314503bda38200ecddd7633b/odd10.jpg" data-mid="157452205" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f4055b28a1161a9f3a545d3a16e4c3de02cf3cf0314503bda38200ecddd7633b/odd10.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2686" width_o="4000" height_o="2686" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/efb06e7c1a8af63bd49841cb3e44be87a5fa7710d8ff5e2e36d76eb8ee8cc77a/odd18.jpg" data-mid="157452278" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/efb06e7c1a8af63bd49841cb3e44be87a5fa7710d8ff5e2e36d76eb8ee8cc77a/odd18.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2686" width_o="4000" height_o="2686" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/db91a8bd331c4ae8cf52ce723e704c728d2849757613f4e1a4b6aa1d95dde33d/odd14.jpg" data-mid="157452255" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/db91a8bd331c4ae8cf52ce723e704c728d2849757613f4e1a4b6aa1d95dde33d/odd14.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2686" width_o="4000" height_o="2686" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/38a80a31f060ede3f921af51320b8ffe0893d3518fc6b3ab533239eead1bfd5f/odd8.jpg" data-mid="157452193" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/38a80a31f060ede3f921af51320b8ffe0893d3518fc6b3ab533239eead1bfd5f/odd8.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2686" width_o="4000" height_o="2686" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a688fb3f84b6df7a0424f0d19503ed1e21dd1c19dc510e73a732bdc8f0904f86/odd7.jpg" data-mid="157452190" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a688fb3f84b6df7a0424f0d19503ed1e21dd1c19dc510e73a732bdc8f0904f86/odd7.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2686" width_o="4000" height_o="2686" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5aee430b3869e3bfa8b80ee6056e6de52751ce861b4de3ed893c6ad2d19c8c7c/odd15.jpg" data-mid="157452271" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5aee430b3869e3bfa8b80ee6056e6de52751ce861b4de3ed893c6ad2d19c8c7c/odd15.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2686" width_o="4000" height_o="2686" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/877eb8d53e31dab5a7c086ec0d3faf1e44ddcfb944a68d9aca3e384dc9a3f6d2/odd17.jpg" data-mid="157452274" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/877eb8d53e31dab5a7c086ec0d3faf1e44ddcfb944a68d9aca3e384dc9a3f6d2/odd17.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2686" width_o="4000" height_o="2686" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/93c8c1c84256ca914b5ef29417bddd567568482a1a6085bfbe63f8fa4077a99e/odd9.jpg" data-mid="157452200" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/93c8c1c84256ca914b5ef29417bddd567568482a1a6085bfbe63f8fa4077a99e/odd9.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2686" width_o="4000" height_o="2686" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/045a5b970289f53c8815a31044dfc36b9423eb6a0cee7f2aa7f6421f55fd7996/odd11.jpg" data-mid="157452211" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/045a5b970289f53c8815a31044dfc36b9423eb6a0cee7f2aa7f6421f55fd7996/odd11.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2686" width_o="4000" height_o="2686" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ad1654615d71da8156f7476e3a0a1ede107ba61f8a9876913dd543fa4b097f3/odd12.jpg" data-mid="157452218" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3ad1654615d71da8156f7476e3a0a1ede107ba61f8a9876913dd543fa4b097f3/odd12.jpg" /> Odd Recipes 202017x 25cm&nbsp; 27 pages, perfect binding Book &nbsp; These are “odd” — according to whom?

The recipes are based on dialogue between the artist and the shop owners, using their serving ideas and suggestions, and cooked by the artist herself.
