Children

Takashi Homma

15.01.2010 to 27.03.2010

By appointment only

Looking into the eyes of the children photographed by Takashi Homma is a chilling look almost directly into the retinas of the next version of humanity-a phase so alien and different from our own, that it is nearly impossible to imagine both ourselves and these future mutations of ourselves existing simultaneously.

My belief is that one's way of thinking and one's view of the world is largely molded by the technologies existing during one's youth. My parents had radio and newspapers and I can pretty much relate to them, while they have a much harder time relating to me I also had TV and newspapers and various portable technologies. However, as the number of technology cycles has mushroomed since the early 1980ies, today's children are (to borrow anothef computer term) "formatted" differently. They might be able to understand me, but I'll never be able to understand them. Or so it feels."
