LEMONISM x CUBISM | DADAISM | MINIMALISM | SYMBOLISM & *ACTIONISM | JAPONISM | 2017
“Performances & video installations”

It all began with the Viennese Actionism: At  the beginning of the LEMONISM series, the lemon’s flesh became the bodily flesh. The body was tormented, subjected to extreme strain and ordeals. Akemi Takeya transferred these actions, transformed her own naked body into a battlefield. LEMONISM x ACTIONISM (referring to the action “ No.00 Untitled”, which was associated with the inner organs) is being presented as a video installation in her overview exhibition. This is most appropriate, as in her work, Takeya is playing with the tension between the flesh of the human body and the bodiless video image. Thus, the installation evokes inconvenient questions: Where do life and art intertwine? Where can the physical moment of pain be burned into a permanent (video) image? This makes the camera a playful counterpart, a window to the outside world. – Jürgen Bauer
