NONAGON PHOTON

 

This series started in 2010. The video of the movement of flickering light is recorded through the use of a digital camera and a macro lens that is out of focus. In this video, the sun’s rays that reflected on various surfaces of water transformed by passing through the lens’s shutter blade and became particles of light that resembled the shape of a nonagon (9-sided polygon). “NONAGON PHOTON” (Full HD Digital Video, 16’22”, 2012) was exhibited at the 2012 solo exhibition: “in fragments” alongside photographs taken in Tokyo before and after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, as well as photographs taken of the Tohoku region after the disaster. In this exhibition, using the projection as the only source of light, the photographs were displayed under the dim flickering of light particles from the video piece. The latest version of this series is “NONAGON PHOTON (LML15)” (4K Digital Video, 30’00”, 2015) made by about 20 individual videos which were recorded in London, Manchester and Liverpool in 2015.
