GALLERY MoMo Projects is pleased to present The spell for not forgetting, the second solo exhibition at the gallery by Ryoko Takahashi. The artist will present works stitched some unforgettable words in her memories with women’s hair.
The women’s hair represents the symbol of feminine beauty, but on the other hand, it has changed into the symbol of death from the moment the hair was cut. By creating feminine objects with the material, Takahashi succeeds in bringing back the beautiful and sensitive elements to the hair and serving ambiguities; life and death; beauty and ugliness. The ambiguities might give the viewers ambivalent feelings as soon as they realized her works are made with human hairs.
Ryoko Takahashi was born in Osaka, in 1980 and graduated from Kyoto Seika University. She has previously exhibited at French embassy in 2009, at Gunma Seinen Biennale in 2010, and at GALLERY MoMo Ryogoku in 2011. Now she is part of a group show titled to the things themselves at FELTspace in Australia.

[作家プロフィール] Cherish things I can see myself. I don’t want to therow away anything in my mind Such as shape, memories, aesthesia and feeling.
I don’t neither confirm nor deny. It’s the spell for not forgetting all Until it ends to be just alive and… To sleep and wake up everyday.
