Ο καλλιτέχνης φωτογράφος που κλωνοποιεί τα μοντέλα του

Ο καλλιτέχνης Daisuke Takakura

Ο καλλιτέχνης Daisuke Takakura μας καλεί σε μία βόλτα στην πόλη με τους κλώνους.

Το εγχείρημα ονομάζεται "Monodramatic" και μας δείχνει έναν κόσμο γεμάτο με πολλαπλές εκδοχές του εαυτού μας. Ο Ιάπωνας φωτογραφος μας ζητάει να φανταστούμε ότι κάθε φορά που αποφασίζουμε να κάνουμε κάτι ένας άλλος εαυτός μας δημιουργείται, και τι θα γινόταν αν κάθε ένας από αυτούς τους εαυτούς συναντιόταν με τους άλλους σε ένα σημείο;

Daisuke Takakura's project <a href="http://www.casane.jp/" target="_blank">"Monodramatic"</a> introduces us to a world where multiple versions of ourselves meet.

Imagine that each time you decided to do one thing rather than another, a different "self" was created, explains the Japanese photographer.

What would happen if these "selves" could meet and talk among themselves?

"Right now, I'm in an apartment in Paris," explains Takakura by email. "One other self is walking in beautiful midnight air in Paris. Another is sleeping peacefully in my bed with my black cat in Japan." Each one made different choices.

Instead Takakura has chosen a path that combines photography , graphic design, and theater to create unique images.

Takakura imagines a world brimming with "what-ifs," where each person could examine the alternative life they could be living if they had decided differently.

"But, actually, it may not be a wild conversation," he jokes.

What would this world be like? Takakura, from Saitama Prefecture in south-east Japan, says he doesn't think it would be too different -- but perhaps a little more "complex."<br />

"I could have graduated university and become an ordinary office worker," says Takakura, 35. "It might be nice to earn a stable income in its own right!"

But there are dangers -- surely -- in meeting the people we could have become. What if they seem happier, better, or more fun? Surely it can't be healthy to dwell on what might have been?

Takakura began his project three years ago and has no plans to stop. It's his ambition to create a photobook of the work.

The models are mostly actors, performers, and artist active in small theaters in Tokyo, Takakura says, where the photographer also enjoys spending time: "Some are people I was on stage with."

The projects gets its name from the theater: "Monodramatic" describes a dramatic composition written for one performer.

The exhibition began on the Friday of the Paris terrorist attacks, giving Takakura cause to think about what might have been -- like many in the city that night -- if they had been elsewhere, or chosen to do something different.
