Aya Takano's exhibition, how deep how far we can go, presents new artwork that explores themes of memory, ancestral consciousness, and the connections among all beings. Her ethereal imagery is significant within the Superflat movement but transcends it, vibrating with emotional depth. The exhibition combines fantastical dreamscapes with elements reflecting prehistoric time and mythic futures, showcasing biological interconnectedness. By creating surreal environments filled with symbolic figures, Takano creates a narrative countering anthropocentrism, emphasizing the coexistence of all life forms in a rich matrix of memory and care.
Through these fantastical tableaux, TAKANO constructs a subtle yet radical counter-narrative to the prevailing anthropocentric worldview. Her work offers a speculative ecology where all forms of life-from microbes in soil to ancestors encoded in our genes-coexist in a poetic matrix of memory and mutual care.
Visitors will encounter surreal dreamscapes filled with elemental and symbolic figures: towering Prototaxites, ancient fungal organisms; aircraft suspended in liminal skies; palm trees swaying beside archaic lifeforms.
