Kota Takeuchi's solo exhibition explores history and nature through local folk beliefs and stone statues in Ichihara.Summary
Kota Takeuchi's solo exhibition, "Nononononomatsuri," held at the Ichihara Lakeside Museum, features video installations based on fieldwork in Ichihara City. The exhibition explores the connection between nature and human history, focusing on local folk beliefs such as Tsukimachi-ko and the presence of stone statues like Bamadou Kannon and Koyasu-zo.
Influenced by the Great East Japan Earthquake, Takeuchi treats stone as a medium for historical transmission. The exhibition's structure, which leads viewers through a dark, otherworldly space back into reality, encourages reflection on how local communities and their spiritual practices interact with the changing landscape and historical monuments like war memorials.
