Akira Otsubo “Shadow in the House #01/#02”

Osaka Nikon Salon

This event has ended.

Akira Otsubo explores the complex layers of history which entwine architectural structures and their vestiges of memory, focusing her lens upon two contrasting houses, one set in Prague, Czech Republic and the other lying in Yamatokoriyama, Nara. According to Plato, the shadow exists psychologically within the self as another person unable to live, and the things which we see in reality are nothing more than the shadow of ideas. In 15–20 color photographs Otsubo excavates private spaces which have passed through so many hands and which have now become public facilities.
