Taro Karibe
HECTARE is pleased to present “Anatomy of Caves,” a solo exhibition by artist and photographer Taro Karibe. In addition to the exhibition, we will offer his photo book, “Typical World,” which was presented at Paris Photo 2024, for sale.
The new work, “Typical World,” employs the prompt “Typical” to question the common perceptions deeply ingrained in society. When prompts such as “Typical eye color,” “Typical food,” and “Typical world” are input into an AI image generator, the results are unsettling and uncanny. While these images are generated by AI, the work itself can be described as a “photographic act,” capturing the ever-changing present moment. It also functions as a form of photojournalism, highlighting the contradictions within a society shaped by AI technology developed and controlled by a select few corporations. Karibe uses AI not merely as a tool but as a mirror reflecting the preconceived notions and stereotypes of modern society. It is said that the number of images created by AI has already equaled the total number of photographs taken by humans over the past 150 years. In a world overwhelmed by an endless stream of images, there may, in fact, be a strong bias rooted in a limited range of perspectives.
Continuing from his previous work, “Aim an Arrow at the Rock in the Ocean,” this exhibition explores and expands human perception through the lens of technology. It invites us to reconsider the concept of “typical” as revealed through the ever-proliferating medium of photography.
