Kazuna Taguchi
Kazuna Taguchi (born in 1979, in Tokyo) is an artist currently based in Vienna, Austria. After graduating from Tokyo University of the Arts with a BFA in Oil Painting, she received her Ph.D. from the same university's Graduate School of Fine Arts and was awarded the Gotoh Memorial Culture Prize for New Artists in 2010. Taguchi has been actively participating in solo and group exhibitions in Asia and Europe.
Taguchi continues to work in an attempt to find metaphysical entities such as time and space through her monochrome work with multiple structures. For example, Taguchi photographs her own paintings and sculptures with multiple exposures, makes oil drawings on printed photographic paper, and then photographs them again.
Taguchi's work also often includes references to past works of art and the application of existing images, such as anonymous found photographs and magazines. The gesture of trying to read symbolism from the collected images of the past is also influenced by Avi Verburg's (1866-1929) Mnemoschne Atlas. From the multiple time frames and body fragments in these images, the artist scoops up signs of a constellational space that generates memory, sometimes restoring it and sometimes allowing it to wander back into her own work, in order to invite moderation and chance.
A Quiet Sun" will be organized using a group of works created for the exhibition and found photographs Taguchi collects. Myths and anonymous memories are brought to life through the gestures and tactile sensations of various bodies breathing in gelatin silver. The bold and subtle way in which the exhibition is presented, as if to discover the architecture, arrange the space, and give it layers, while using the strong natural light flooding the gallery as it is, is an attempt to interpret Taguchi's awareness of the issues in his photographic work from a different angle. What kind of light is found when the corpus of photography forms a shifting image in the overflowing sun?
