For the first time in Denmark is it possible to see a solo exhibition by the young Japanese contemporary artist Toshi Takeuchi. The exhibition ”Planet of Rabbits” reflects on the mentality
of children and the relationship between children and parents. Inspired by classical fairytales, Japanese contemporary literature and memories of her childhood, Toshie Takeuchi has been working on this artistic project since 2004.

In panoramic digital montages Toshie Takeuchi opens a fascinating, visual universe
on the boundary between fantasy and reality. At once a charming and alarming place for children, where in the form of imaginative- and expressive rabbits, they can unfold their common childhood. In this peculiar universe, this reflection of reality, the children can draw back from
their encounter with adults and a so-called world of reason, which has only left them confused
with unanswered questions. 

Toshie Takeuchi studied at the University of the Arts London, London College of Communication. She has exhibited at museums and galleries in England, Germany, France, USA and Japan,
and among others, Fotografie Forum International, Frankfurt, Germany, and The International Museum of Photography and Film, Rochester, NY, USA. She continues to show her work internationally and currently lives and practices in Japan... more:
