Tadasu Takamine (Tokyo, Japan) began his career as a member of the influential Japanese multimedia performance group Dumb Type, which has existed since the 1980s. He currently works in a variety of media, including installations integrating video and audio, photography, video, sculpture and self-directed performances. Takamine reveals the latent oppression and control of a social system and collective consciousness critically and ironically through his own body. Tadasu Takamine has exhibited in Asia, North America and Europe, as well as in Australia, Israel, Mexico and South Africa.
Support from the Japan-Canada Fund made possible the residence of Tadasu Takamine at SAW Video.
