Kenji Takahashi - 1957 - Kitagata Giappone
La forma è ignara di aggettivi, tesa verso il congedo di ogni significato: eppure conseguita attraverso una composizione irritata di sensibilità resa da elementi di marmo che conoscono la frattura, l'imperfezione il dispendio e la successiva ricompattazione (anzi la laterale ricucitura). Il tutto, però, lasciato in vista, quasi a voler esibire i materiali usati e il procedimento messo in atto; e anche: il tutto, impegnato per depotenziare l'idea di perfezione, per svalutare l'illusione della totalità. Risonanze, dunque, del pensiero Zen, nell'opera del nipponico Kenji Takahashi: costruzioni di mondi discontinui ed aperti inquadrati dal vuoto e non inquadranti nulla, ambizioni fisiologiche di spazio, ma di uno spazio che perde invariabilmente il suo luogo, che smarrisce il suo centro: infine avventure di una materia lavorata dalla pausa e dalla sottrazione. Ma il vero senso della scultura sta lì, in quel continuo trauma, in quell'evento spezzato, in quel suo esistere-non esistere.
Non si tratta però dell'elaborazione (tutta occidentale!) del lutto, ma proprio della presentazione di una infinita origine, della pratica del linguaggio conciso, come se il tutto fosse indicibile o come se si potesse dire sempre qualcosa ancora.
Gli stessi frammenti che strutturano la scultura non sono da leggersi come separazioni, ma come aggiunte; segni che negano la definizione in favore di una ulteriorità (di un vuoto) che permette allo sguardo di penetrare e di "crearsi" il suo pieno.


Kenji Takahashi - 1957 - Kitagata Giappone
The form is unaware of adjectives, brim toward the dismissal of every meaning: yet achieved through an irritated composition of sensibility made by elements of marble that know the fracture, the imperfection the waste and the following reassembling (rather the side re-stitching). The everything, however, left in sight, almost to exhibit the used materials and the procedure put into effect; and also, busy to un-strengthen the idea of perfection, to devalue the illusion of the totality. Resonance, therefore, of the thought Zen, in the work of the Japanise Kenji Takahashi: constructions of discontinuous and open worlds framed by the void and not void framed, physiological ambitions of space, but of a space that invariably loses its place, that loses its centre: finally adventures of a subject worked by the break and by the subtraction. But the true sense of the sculpture is there, in that continuous trauma, in that broken event, in his exist-not to exist. It doesn't concern however the elaboration (all western!) of the mourning, but really of the presentation of an endless origin, of the practice of the concise language, as if the everything was inexpressible or as if could still be said always something. The same fragments that structure the sculpture are not to read him as separations, but as added; signs that deny the definition for an further (of a void) that it allows the look to penetrate and of "to create him" its height.
