Moving back and forth between images and their projections and boundaries, invoking multiple time and space and coincidences, Yutaka Nozawa has been creating his works mainly in the form of photographs, videos, and installations. In recent years, he also incorporates paintings into his practices.
Based on “→□←” (2014), which Nozawa published only 10 copies during his stay in Spain, this book is the artist book newly composed under the same format, using photographs taken since then for 10 years.
The photographs, which were taken as daily documentations of his production, include lines of shadows, flocks of birds, reflections of mirrors, curtains, gazes, and circles. Those may often be said to be symbolic motifs, but they are not figures that encompass a narrative in Nozawa’s works. Actually, they are windows that allow the viewer's gaze and consciousness to move in and out of the frame.
Between scenes and silhouettes in his photographs with subtle surprises, the readers can perceive somewhat humorous linkages that invite us into a continuous and never-ending play.
Contributing to this book, we also include newly written essay by Kohei Kuwada, Professor of Graduate Schools of Arts and Sciences, The University of Tokyo (Modern French Literature, Culture and Representation Studies) and a poem by Ricardo Cases (Photographer) who had taught photography at IED where Nozawa studied during his stay in Spain.
ー Because if one doesn’t enhance one’s sensibilities for complexity, reality and even ourselves become of a simple shape. It is important to escape from the flat and plain form of life and continue to play in the complex reality that, upon closer look, you realize is nested. (From the essay by Kohei Kuwada)
