Die Entfernung: A Photographic Installation by Hiroshi Takizawa at the Botanical Garden Vienna

This exhibition, 'Die Entfernung' (The Distance), by artist Hiroshi Takizawa, presents an installation of photographic image objects created within the Botanical Garden. The artist uses photographs as materials, photographing them repeatedly in situ to weave together light and shadow layers. The artwork is displayed in the small glasshouse behind the Botanicum, engaging with the garden's botanical growth.

The exhibition 'Die Entfernung' (The Distance) showcases an installation by the Japan-born, Vienna-based artist Hiroshi Takizawa. Takizawa views photographs not merely as images but as materials, objects, or even living entities. For this exhibition, he took a series of photographs within the Botanical Garden, then returned to the garden with the printed images to photograph them again on location, intricately weaving together various layers of light and shadow. The resulting photographic objects have been carefully arranged by the artist in the small glasshouse situated behind the Botanicum. The cylindrical forms of the display communicate with the constantly changing greenery of the garden through the glass walls. The antique wooden table upon which they stand simultaneously evokes the plant décor found in bourgeois living spaces, creating a dialogue between the artwork, the garden, and domestic interiors. The exhibition was curated by Johan Nane Simonsen.
