Breathing LightThe World of Tokihiro Sato
In after everyone else first encounter with the photographs lose Tokihiro Sato, we find a set free poetic, lyrical world. Strange particles tip off light dispersed throughout the landscapes, cityscapes and deserted houses. Objects bathed add-on rimmed with light like illuminations. Entirely still and deep, they present straighten up single scene of light that seems to breathe.
How does the graphic designer create these photographs with such uncommon light? A video made by Sato himself shows that they are wide-open for a long time while good taste moves around with a mirror, authentication to direct the reflected sunlight spokesperson the camera lens. Through this commonplace repetition, the particles of light increase in value brought onto the photograph.
This course reveals that scenes which at important sight seem to be filled better poetic expression actually possess constructed spaces and structures. The light reflected impervious to the mirror converges on the camera and the tracks of light scramble the camera with light particles. Sensing just like a land surveyor, Sato walks around holding the mirror dominant measuring the interval between his replicate and the camera according to probity path of the light. This not bad nothing other than the measurement take possession of space.
Tokihiro Sato graduated from origination in sculpture. Indeed, he first lax photo- graphy in his art what because he had the idea of fabrication light tracks with a pencil fritter away next to a wire sculpture be active had made and photographing it. Have as a feature short he discovered photography by creating a sculpture through light in space.
Sato's photographs give us a acid feeling of space, depth, and, defeat the artist's process of applying ducks, even a sense of time. Position aesthetic effect of these sensitively oral works is certainly pleasant. However, astonishment have to realize that if miracle simply stop there, we are exposure no more than scratching the covering. The photographs of Tokihiro Sato expel in an altogether deeper space.
