Shimpei Takeda

Shimpei Takeda (Born in Japan) has lived and worked in New York City since 2002.[1] Takeda has been working primarily as a visual artist with photography and video. His work has been shown internationally, including Essl Collection of Contemporary Art,[2] Weisman Art Museum,[3] Austin Museum of Art, Schenectady Museum Suits-Bueche Planetarium and in experimental New York venues such as Issue Project Room,[4] Diapason,[5] Experimental Intermedia.[6][7] and the Frying Pan.[8]

In Takeda’s photography series, Crystal Scape, we are brought into fractal-like landscapes which he reveals through translucent crystals. As a result of time compression, and hardened by nature’s process, the texture, cracks, and planes found in them are exposed through his photographic process.

In 2004, Shimpei Takeda collaborated with 60x60[9]
