KEI TAHARA

Artista

Nato a CHIBA in Giappone (1979)
Vive e lavora a London in Regno Unito

My work deals with psychological issues; for example people's isolation from society, the existence of intermingled plural identities within a single subject and changes of anchorage.

I explore the artwork’s visual and material possibilities, hovering between a world of fantasy and a world of reality. When encountering the artwork my aim is to allow the viewer to naturally produce his or her original stories. Viewers then interact with the juxtaposition between the world of fantasy and the world of reality combined with the imagined stories which provokes experiences that introduce them to diverse and conflicting worldviews. The artwork will then potentially serve a more profound role by triggering unconscious desires, hidden anxieties and pent-up emotions.
