YUKO TAKADA KELLER
Yuko Takada Keller artworks can be traced back to the Japanese art history where she the last 30 years has been creating installations exclusively of paper. She has exhibited in most of Europe apart in her home country, Japan.

In her works endless amounts of small cut pieces of tracing paper is used, which can be experienced in the three-dimensional work "Prismatic" consisting of a total of 7,500 little pyramids.
The emphasis is put on fragility and not least of perishability in the choice of material and expression, but also on the shapes and space, where Yuko Takada Keller is using paper as basic material, but in very different modes of expression.
