Taiki Yokote
Parcel is pleased to present “even a worm will turn,” the very first solo exhibition of Taiki Yokote starting May 21.
While a student in the master's course in the Department of Sculpture of the Tokyo University of the Arts, Taiki Yokote creates sculptures and installations using ready-made objects in motion. Yokote focuses on familiar objects such as plastic bags, rubble, stones found on the street, and blue tarps, which are not usually paid attention to. His ideas are centered on rather than looking at the original functions or symbolic meanings of familiar objects, but focusing on their pure form and movement, and perceiving each object as a unique entity. By giving unexpected movements and perspectives to inorganic objects, such as dust, dirt, and rubble that may have been part of a building, the artist gives us a sense of discomfort, while broadening our imagination about the unique flow of time and various phenomena that can be found in all objects and that we do not fully recognize.
This will be the artist’s first solo exhibition, in which he will present new video works, sculptures of various sizes, and an installation.
