Takano Ryudai (b. 1963) is a photographer and artist who won the 31st Kimura Ihei Award for his photobook IN MY ROOM (2005) and continues to be active both in Japan and internationally. In addition to his works exploring themes of sexuality, Takano has engaged in everyday snapshots, such as his Mainichi Shashin and Kasubaba series. Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, he has also explored the theme of shadows, delving into the fundamental nature of photography itself.
The title of this exhibition, kasubaba, is a term coined by Takano to refer to several "insignificant places" (kasu meaning scraps or remnants, and ba meaning place). Presenting a comprehensive overview of Takano’s artistic journey, including never-before-seen works, this exhibition may offer clues to surviving an increasingly uncertain everyday life.
