Kei Takemura 竹村 京

I'm an artist who is born in Tokyo and lives in Berlin since 2000. 

I'm interested in the memories which were selected through the time and remained in the person's brain.  In my art work I’ve asked to myself how the circumstances in my daily life influences and moves me. I've been trying to reconstruct and visualize the memories, which I remember again in the other occasion. I use "hand-sewing" as a way to memorize the matter, which I want to conserve in my brain for a long time.
