Takashi Kuribayashi has the ability to surprise his audience with large, visually arresting installations that challenge the architecture and spaces in which they are housed in. Nature is the departure point for all of Kuribayashi’s work. He often uses sea animals such as penguins, seals and dugongs that adapts to water and land, and he presents gravitational force – the fundamental basis of natural law – through water or soil.

But when Kuribayashi’s body of work is examined from the perspective of the materials he uses, nature is in fact not pure nature. The ‘nature’ he presents is made of artificial materials, to prove that freedom is not determined by the mechanic-materialistic causal relationship between the subject and the external world.
