鷹野隆大 Ryudai Takano

Profile

写真家。1963年福井県生まれ。
1994年からセクシュアリティをテーマに作家活動を開始。女か男か、同性愛か異性愛かといった二項対立の狭間にある曖昧なものを可視化することを試みた作品集『IN MY ROOM』（2005）で木村伊兵衛写真賞を受賞。その後は同テーマをポルノグラフィカルな形式を通して探求したシリーズ『男の乗り方』、無防備なセクシュアリティの表出が警察沙汰を招いた『おれと』など、性欲という“下半身の問題”をアイデンティティや社会規範との関わりのなかで捉える作品を発表している。
他に、“市場価値のない”身体イメージを集めたシリーズ『ヨコたわるラフ』、極めて身近でありながら顧みられることのない日本特有の都市空間を写した『カスババ』など、視覚表象における価値のヒエラルキーを問う作品シリーズがある。
2011年の東日本大震災以降は影をテーマに種々の作品に取り組んでいる。2021年には国立国際美術館で初の個展 『鷹野隆大　毎日写真1999-2021』を開催。同年に文化庁令和3年度(第72回)芸術選奨美術部門文部科学大臣賞受賞、2022年に第38回写真の町東川賞国内作家賞受賞。2025年には東京都写真美術館の開館 30 周年を記念した展覧会第⼀弾として選ばれ個展『鷹野隆⼤ カスババ ―この⽇常を⽣きのびるために―』を開催している。

Photographer. Born in 1963 in Fukui.
Takano has been engaging in his artistic practice which deals with the theme of sexuality since 1994. He was awarded the Kimura Ihei Award for the photo book In My Room (2005), which attempts to visualise the ambiguous zone that exists between dichotomies such as woman and man, or homosexuality and heterosexuality. Takano then continues to present work that captures sexual desire (“issues of the lower half”) within the context of identity and social norms, such as with How to Ride a Man, exploring the same theme through pornographical formats, and With Me, with which the vulnerable expression of sexuality led to trouble with the police.
Takano has also produced series of works that question the hierarchy of values regarding visual representation, including the series Reclining Woo-Man which gathers body images with “no market value”, and Kasubaba, which captures the urban spaces of Japan that are highly familiar yet remain neglected.
Since the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, Takano has been engaged with various projects approaching the theme of shadows. In 2021 he held his first museum solo exhibition Takano Ryudai: Daily Photographs 1999-2021 at the National Museum of Art, Osaka. Awarded the 72nd Art Encouragement Prize from the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (Agency for Cultural Affairs, Government of Japan) in 2021, and the 38th Domestic Photographer Award by Higashikawa Awards in 2022. In 2025, Takano was selected by Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography as the first of a series of exhibitions commemorating its 30th anniversary, presenting the solo exhibition Takano Ryudai: kasubaba Living though the ordinary.
