Taiki YOKOTE / 横手 太紀

Born in Zushi City, Kanagawa Prefecture in 1998.
Completed his MFA in Sculpture at the Tokyo University of the Arts.

Yokote’s practice is rooted in the emotions stirred by the landscapes and events of his immediate surroundings: presence and absence, non-verbal exchanges, minute existences and phenomena that flicker on the edge of our perception. Through a sculptural approach and gimmicks that harness the motion of ready-made objects, he lifts individual existences buried within larger collectives and uncovers the multiple currents of time that run through them. As the human and non-human, present and memory, reality and imagination flow naturally into the same space, Yokote’s quiet resonance with others reflects his attitude toward the spaces in between. Through this attunement, a deeper connection between ourselves, society, and the world quietly emerges.

横手太紀の実践は、身の回りの景色や出来事によって揺さぶられる感情から始まる。存在不在、非言語的なやりとり、目では捉えきれない微細な存在や事象。横手は物質とその背にある見えない交感に目を向け、それらを丁寧な眼差しによって、集合体のなかに埋もれた個の存在や、多様な時間の流れを浮かび上がらせる。人間と非人間、現在と記憶、現実と想像が自然と同じ場に流れるなかで、そうした他者との静かな共鳴はそのあわいへ目を向ける態度であり、私たちと社会や世界とのより深い接続を促すものである。
