Mikiya Takimoto - Works 1998-2023

Photographer Mikiya Takimoto has been called a dominant force within Japanese advertising in the new millennium. In today's fast-changing world, ads come flooding out at us from seemingly every device. More and more, they are turning into so much extraneous "noise" that we skip through without a second thought, and that makes Takimoto's unwavering pursuit of the possibilities of advertising all the more valuable, from commercials and art photography to cinematography. His work may rightly be called a body of "advertising as art" like none other, and this huge collection offers a satisfying look into his world, which constantly seeks change even as it deepens.
