Triennial Artist Spotlight: Shimpei Takeda
Shimpei Takeda was born 40 miles from the site of the nuclear disaster that took place in Fukushima, Japan, in the wake of a violent earthquake and tsunami that devastated the country in March 2011. Takeda responded to the catastrophe with his series Trace—cameraless records of radioactive contamination, in which he placed radioactive soil from the Fukushima area in contact with photosensitive sheets of film. The resulting “autoradiographs” appear to document solar systems, galaxies, or segments of star-strewn sky, but they are in fact impressions of the radiation emitted by contaminated particles of earth.
Takeda retrieved the radioactive soil from locations that are freighted with history, both personal and collective. Trace documents the soil’s still-dangerous levels of invisible radiation, and serves as an elegy to places where it is no longer safe to live.

A few years ago, I had the amazingly strange opportunity of participating in an autopsy. The person laying in front of you (with unsettling ease) transforms into an object after the first cut. After all of the organs have been removed and analyzed, the deaner sews together the remaining shell of the body, just as in Silverthorne’s print above.
The object becomes a person again. This time it’s a gruesome, disturbing metamorphosis.

“‘When I see this item, do I think of the person who’s passed?
Or, more importantly, when I think of the person who’s passed, do I think of this item?’I found the dress that my mother wore to my wedding.
My initial thought was to keep it. But, when I think of my mother, I do not think of this dress.” -

The Wizard of Oz Book by Dennis Neuschaefer-Rube
“The Wizard of Oz”, all of the 140,000 filmstills of the movie are published. On 98 pages the images are arranged chronologically in rows from left to right. One page contains 1440 pictures which correspond to exactly one minute of film. So the page numbers also show the minute of the film from which the stills were taken.

I suppose the internet version for the middle panel on the right would be: “Across the wires, an angry person is yelling somewhat incoherently and loudly, directly at you (and whoever else wants to listen).”
