This event has ended.
“Ten Bulls” is a series of ten pictures from the Zen tradition which illustrate the path towards enlightenment. In the seventh picture there is a poem with the words “a path of cold light”. It is believed that with the appearance of this intense cold light, all restrictions of spacial time disappear, and true emptiness is revealed before one’s eyes. Lakua / Manabu Yamada, by scraping and gouging the surfaces of photographs, began noticing faint traces of this “cold light” and refined them as artworks, as glimpses of intense light which break down all barriers brought by time and space, the inner and outer, life and death.
