Taguchi Yukihiro
Biography
Born in 1980 in Osaka, Japan, Taguchi Yukihiro currently lives and works in Berlin. Taguchi graduated from the Oil Painting department of Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music. Rooted in interventions that interweave his physical body with the surrounding landscape, the artist takes inspiration from unpredictable encounters with everyday objects and people on the streets, and documents this process through installations, events and stop-motion video works.
About Taguchi Yukihiro’s Residency at Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile (CHAT)
Taguchi's artistic practices span street performances, community events, installations and stop-motion videos. His series of works Patch Pass (2016), created during a residency with the Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile (CHAT) in Hong Kong, consists of weaves, patchworks, signage and documentary video works. A part of the series was presented during Ubiquitous Humanity, an edition of the Japan Media Arts Festival Exhibition co-presented by CHAT, NHK International Inc and City University of Hong Kong. Patch Pass reflects Taguchi’s objectives in Hong Kong: to communicate with local communities on the streets by involving them in his creative practice.
The artist redefined the purpose of found objects on the street, providing them with a new meaning through the acts of weaving and documentation. He invented weaving techniques using public furniture and structures as frameworks, and revived waste fabric collected from neighbourhoods to create woven mats with passersby on the street. In addition, a collaborative project with local designers explored upcycled product development.
Taguchi’s experimentation in the city created a micro-ecosystem through upcycling and revealed an alternative way of perceiving everyday consumption. Through animated narration in his stop-motion video works, he transformed ordinary cityscapes. The artist continues to extend the mission of CHAT to explore new meanings and experiences in textile arts by bringing weaving techniques developed in Hong Kong to other cities and communities.

簡介
有關六廠紡織文化藝術館（CHAT六廠）駐場藝術家 — 田口行弘
田口行弘的創作橫跨街頭行為、社區活動、裝置及定格錄像。他在 CHAT 六廠駐場期間 創作的作品系列《Patch Pass》（2016 年）包含了編織、拼湊、標示和紀錄片多種元素。 作品的其中一部份曾經在 CHAT 六廠、NHK International Inc. 和香港城市大學合辦的 日本媒體藝術祭特別展覽「Ubiquitous Humanity」中展出。 田口到訪香港的主要目的是與本地社群交流，促成他邀請鄰里參與《Patch Pass》的創 作過程。他在選定的地區，以編織和紀錄行為重新定義拾得物的用途。他借助公共場所 的設施和結構作為創造編織技術的框架，再與路人一同把社區收集回來的布料編織成 毯，賦予廢棄物全新生命。此外，他跟本地設計師合作，研發紡織產品的升級再造。 田口的城市實驗包含升級再造，並為「日常消耗」帶來另一種新認知，兩者共同塑造出 全新的微生態系統。另外，他透過創作定格錄像改變尋常都市的景觀。田口會把在香港 萌發的編織技術推展至其他大城市與群體，承載六廠探索紡織藝術意義和經歷的宗旨。
