About Artist

Taro Karibe | 苅部太郎

N​ews

Born in Aichi in 1988, based in Tokyo. An artist and photographer who approaches photography not as a record of reality, but as a system that constructs reality and collective belief. After working across psychology, infectious disease prevention, finance, and IT, he began his career as a photojournalist. He has since moved into the fields of post-photography and the philosophy of technology, incorporating and at times deliberately misusing technologies such as generative AI to examine the act of seeing.

Selected solo exhibitions include Anatomy of Caves, HECTARE (2024); Aim an Arrow at the Rock in the Ocean, Mynavi Art Square (2024); Electric Caveman, HECTARE (2023); Age of Photon / INCIDENTS, IMA gallery (2020).

Group exhibitions include Auckland Festival of Photography (New Zealand, 2024), Asama International Photo Festival (2023), Platform 29.8, ANB Tokyo (2022), KG+ SELECT (2021), and LUMIX MEETS / BEYOND 2020 BY JAPANESE PHOTOGRAPHERS #6, shown at Photo Saint Germain, Paris; Unseen, Amsterdam; and IMA gallery, Tokyo (2019).

Awards and selections include JAPAN PHOTO AWARD, Elisa Medde Prize (2024) and TOKYO FRONTLINE PHOTO AWARD, Takashi Kawashima Prize (2022).

His work is held in the collection of the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum.

1988年愛知生まれ、東京在住のアーティスト/写真家。写真を現実の記録としてでなく、現実感や共同幻想を構築するシステムとして問い直す。心理学、感染症予防、金融、ITの領域を横断した後、報道写真家として活動を開始。以降、ポストフォトグラフィーと技術哲学の領域へと展開し、画像生成AIなどのテクノロジーを取り入れ、ときに意図的に誤用しながら、「見ること」の営みを再考する。
