Catalogue Note
Takeda's concern is first and foremost with light and how through the textures it produces he creates his chaotic and poetic images. Although his work lies purely within the photographic medium, his images often evoke traits seen in other disciplines such as the two-dimensionality of abstract painting. As a result, his photographs project a surreal ambience detached from the everyday street scenarios.
