KURIBAYASHI Takashi
Sterile white furniture is arranged in a room, with a hole in the ceiling about the right size for a human head. The title of this work means “marshland” in German. Take off your shoes, climb on the chair and peek through the ceiling to discover a scene unimaginable from below. By crossing the boundary between two worlds, you may encounter something never found in one alone.

KURIBAYASHI Takashi
Born 1968 in Nagasaki, Japan. After graduating from Musashino Art University, Kuribayashi relocated to Germany, where he completed postgraduate studies as a Meisterschüler at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 2002. He continues to create artworks in a variety of media addressing the subject of boundaries, an interest developed in part by his time in the formerly divided Germany. He has participated in international exhibitions including Singapore Biennale 2006, as well as numerous group exhibitions including “Sensing Nature” at the Mori Art Museum (Tokyo, Japan, 2010) and “Enfance” at the Palais de Tokyo (Paris, France, 2018).
