Takashi Makino
Takashi Makino (b. 1978, Tokyo, Japan) graduated from Nihon University College of Art, Department of Cinematography and Sound Recording in 2001, and moved to England to study film, lighting, and music. He then worked as a colorist on many feature films, commercials, and music videos, improving his skills in film and video, and began showing his work in 2004.

Makino's work is highly acclaimed internationally for its organic and imaginative nature, which seems to expand endlessly. Currently based in Japan, Makino has presented his films, music, installations, and audiovisual performances around the world, and has worked with renowned musicians such as Jim O'Rourke, Yoshihide Otomo, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Takuma Watanabe, Machinefabriek, and Lawrence English, and Grouper.

Makino's films have also won numerous awards at international film festivals abroad, including the Tiger Award, and the Grand Prix for Best Short Film at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2012.

In recent years, in addition to film festivals, his work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, Saitama, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum, Mori Art Museum, The National Art Center, Tokyo, Documenta 14 (Greece), San Francisco MoMA, MoMAPS1, New Museum of Contemporary Art (USA), His works have been exhibited and screened at museums in Japan and abroad, including Whitechapel Gallery (UK) and the Austrian Film Museum.

Makino constructs multilayered worlds by overlapping layers of film and video material, which he photographs himself. The layers of noise/electronic music strengthen the work's physicality and allow the viewer to experience Makino's work as a discrete experience.

The new work "Anti-Cosmos," which will be presented for the first time at this exhibition, is inspired by Toshihiko Izutsu's book "Cosmos and Anti-Cosmos. In the book, Izutsu defines "cosmos" as "a meaningful order of existence (a meaningfully ordered space of existence)*" and describes it as "a complex order composed of countless individual semantic units, or a harmony created by the multilayered arrangement of countless semantic units (so-called things and things-possible).
