Takeshi Kitano<br />
Born in 1947, Takeshi Kitano is a Japanese filmmaker who has directed major films such<br />
as Sonatine (1993), Hana-Bi (1997), Zatoichi (2003), Achilles and the Tortoise (2008)<br />
and Outrage (2010). Kitano is internationally famous for his films and hugely popular in<br />
Japan as a comedian and television presenter. His tireless curiosity and passion for learning<br />
and transmitting knowledge allow him to change fields and vocabulary with great ease,<br />
switching from violence to humor and excess to restraint.<br />
In 2010, he presented his first personal exhibition at the <strong>Fondation</strong> <strong>Cartier</strong> <strong>pour</strong> l’art<br />
<strong>contemporain</strong>, Beat Takeshi Kitano, Gosse de peintre. Through painting and videos,<br />
fantastical installations and incredible machines, Takeshi Kitano led the visitor from games<br />
to lessons, making fun of contemporary art, enjoying the sciences and playing on the<br />
clichés commonly associated with his native Japan.<br />
In 2011, he took part in the thematic exhibition Mathematics: A Beautiful Elsewhere at the<br />
<strong>Fondation</strong> <strong>Cartier</strong>, with the game The Answer is 2011.<br />
