Lending a space which is not occupied but might not mark endings but beginnings of a shared act.” Hartog & Henneman, Schakel Collier, from the Wood Connection collection, 2021, necklace, plastic, each link 100 x 50 x 20 mm, total length 970 mm, photo courtesy of the artists and Galerie Door So, rather than suggesting a narrative, I wish to hand the tools to be activated.

Individual as “personality” and group as “nationality.” Regarding “personality,” the artist focuses on the element of recording (memories) in life via photography. In this series of works, Asako Takayashi explores the notion of identity in both aspects, individual and group.
