"Smartphones, tablets, and signage advertisements all over the city.
Fumitsugu Takedo photographs urban landscapes that are adapting to the media environment due to the proliferation of digital media. Based on snapshots, Fumitsugu Takedo incorporates copies of his own photographs and copies of video media to explore the possibilities of visual-spatial cognition in a modern world where the distinction between reality and media fiction is blurred.
The flickering irreversible sequence of time. Days, weeks, and years in backwards order. The glitch of memory, the flicker of half-remembered thoughts set to a drum & bass beat.
Loneliness backwards, purple and blue.
"Can you open up the door?"
A story written from the end with no beginning: memory at 2/3 speed, hands, feet, technology, and Bresson. Images that repeat and images that only appear to but never really do: out of order and lapsed."
