Wataru Murakami
After winning multiple street dance battles and becoming a finalist in one of Japan’s largest competitions, I continued expanding my practice through contemporary dance, entertainment, and martial arts.
I have performed as a tour dancer and appeared in music videos for Kenshi Yonezu, and worked in productions by Masako Yasumoto, Yasutake Shimaji, Tomohiko Tsujimoto, Ryohei Kondo, and Monochrome Circus.
Now, drawing from all these experiences, I dance in tune with the atmosphere and stillness of each moment—embracing playfulness and the beauty that exists before form.
I hold a 2nd kyu rank in Aikido and was the runner-up in my age division at the Osaka Tai Chi Competition.
My work explores subtle connections between body, mind, and space through breath and awareness.

Kentaro TAKAHASHI
b. 1989, Yokohama, Japan
Spent his early childhood in the United States and Canada.
In the spring of 2011, following the Great East Japan Earthquake,
began photographing with the desire not to lose sight of the fleeting scenes of everyday life.
As the practice evolved, the work began to revolve
around reflections on time, absence, loss, and early experiences of childhood—
opening toward questions of how to remain beside the memories of others and to be with them.
This practice becomes an attempt to touch voices before they sink into oblivion,
and a quiet endeavor to hold together fragmented time
Author of A RED HAT (AKAAKA, 2020).
Received the 36th Higashikawa Awards for Special Photographer of the Year (Japan) in 2020.
Artist-in-Residence, SeMA Nanji Residency, Seoul Museum of Art, Fall 2026.
