Imagine a world full of “yous”,
similar “yous”, drastically different “yous”, all together, interacting, communicating,
and getting to know each other. Imagine multiples of other people interacting
with various “thems” but also with the various “yous”. Photographer, Daisuke
Takakura’s makes this world more attainable in his series Monodramatic in which his model poses various ways and layers those
images to create clones. Takakura’s work Monodramatic
draws from a similar named theatrical term, monodrama. From a theatrical
background, the movements, interactions and expressions of the selves reflect
that. Obviously, Takakura explores the self but more so the alternative self, the
self that is, the self that was, the self that could have been and the self
that is to come. Further, these people could represent the different sides of
you and the different layers of you. Additionally, the amount of layers of
these photos on top of each other is impressive. The images are a tad dramatic
in expression but the idea of multiples of you and others is interesting to explore.
