The Berlin-based artist Taguchi Yukihiro (born in 1980) has garnered much attention in recent years for his unique “performative installations,” which combine elements of drawing, performance, animation and installation. His video works show everyday objects such as furniture and even the floorboards in his studio dancing as though imbued with spirits of their own. Made by joining still images together, the works are animations in the classical sense, but they also provide hints for the present.
