A critical review of ceramic artist Takeru Fujii’s exhibition, which examines vessels as media that mediate between life and death.Summary
This article reviews Takeru Fujii’s exhibition 'Floor Plan of Life and Death' at KUNST ARZT in Kyoto. Fujii explores the role of vessels as devices that distinguish between civilization and nature, creating the work 'Vitality Vessel'—a series of ceramic protectors covering chicken carcasses. Through this, he redefines the vessel as a medium mediating life and death, suggesting an analogy between tableware and the human digestive system as vessels for consuming other life forms.
