The Silver Screen Series draws viewers in much like a movie screen, evoking personal memories and emotions while encouraging multiple layers of interpretation. Each piece shifts and transforms based on viewing angle and time of day, inviting an exploration of the fluid, ambiguous nature of memory and experience. The reflective materials incorporated throughout the series capture viewers' own images, integrating them into the artwork itself—effectively blurring the line between observer and observed. This intentional ambiguity mirrors the complex relationship between self-representation and perception of others that defines our contemporary social experience.

Artist / Brand

Maki Takato

Maki Takato is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice bridges dance, performance, and visual arts. Following her professional dance career, she completed her studies at London's leading institutions: Performance Art at University of the Arts London, Philosophy at Goldsmiths, and graduated with distinction from the Royal College of Art.
Through philosophical and ethnological approaches, she explores the complex relationships between technology, identity, and the body. Her work manifests across spatial installations, three-dimensional media, and performance, creating experiences that challenge conventional perspectives. Based between Japan and the United Kingdom, Maki maintains an active international presence, including performances at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
