Hiroshi Takizawa’s Photographic Recompositions

Hiroshi Takizawa does not set out in search of beauty. Rather, he studies materials. Born in 1983 in Saitama and having studied psychology, Hiroshi Takizawa turned his hand to photography. His point of departure was raw materials like stones, concrete, and even pieces of furniture.

Endless recompositions of shots

Hiroshi Takizawa enjoys playing with materials. He photographs them, prints them, photographs them again, breaks them up, and recomposes them. Through his images and installations, he plays with perspective so that the spectators lose themselves in the skilful superimposition of stills. In fact, Hiroshi Takizawa calls into question the role of photography itself. While some try to freeze the living through photos, he brings the inanimate to life.
