Born 1968, Kagoshima, Japan, Takamine is well known for his confronting performance work, sculpture and video practice. Always challenging, drawing on disparate cultural references, Takamine strives to create works that provoke spectators’ interaction in uncomfortable and questionable ways by applying issues between politics, sexuality and the body. To these issues, he implores the method of criticism; of criticizing and of being criticized. Open to working across media, Takamine is not adamant about any particular method of expression, saying: “I select the effective method on the spot according to the given conditions and situation.” Takamine currently lives and works in Kyoto.
