Translucent, Layered Landscapes Portray The Gentle Passing Of Time





Japanese artist Nobuhiro Nakanishi’s interest in the accumulation of memory and the observation of nature’s beauty provided inspiration for his enthralling layered landscape photographs.



Nakanishi photographs a scene over a period of time, makes translucent laser prints of each image, and mounts them on acrylic. As viewers peruse the installation from start to end, they can notice the subtle changes of a shifting landscape.



“On turning their eyes sideways, however, viewers discover gaps in time, and the materiality of the film is exposed. For Nakanishi, this becomes a fusion of continuity and discontinuity, of whole image and physical gaps, and it resonates with how we experience the world,” reads a description for the artist’s ‘Breath Of Light’ exhibition in Zurich.
