ZEN

My street photography is rooted in early surrealist ideas and is an act of capturing the flow of the unconscious. Capturing only the moments when the body reacts first—this resonates with today's neuroscientific findings that the brain decides on actions faster than the mind.

About Artist

Takayuki Nakamura

February.17.1988 Born in Hyogo (Japan) He earned a master's degree in modern art history at a Japanese graduate school. He discovered and joined the Naniwa Photography Club, Japan's oldest photography organization. His work is influenced by the photographers who belonged to the club, including Nakaji Yasui, Kiyoshi Koishi, and Yoho Tsuda. For the past 15 years, he has struggled to decide what to photograph. He was most influenced by the words of folk art photographer Hideo Haga: "Art photography does not become documentary photography, but documentary photography becomes art photography." He embarked on a journey of self-discovery by taking up straight photography, believing that street photography was a suitable medium for expressing the ideas of surrealism he had been studying. 【Exihibition】  2016 Art on paper (systema gallery) 2017 Art Nagoya (Japan) Art fair asia fukuoka (Japan) Kobe art marche (Japan) Art marcket budapest (Hungary) 2018 Solo Exihibition (systema gallery) Art Nagoya ART PHOTO BALOCELONA (SPAIN) 2019 systema art week (systema gallery) The other art fair torino (Italy)  【Belong】   Ikebana Yamatomisyoryu (I`m a Ikebana teacher) Naniwa syasinkurabu (Photo Club)
