« Scatter Points » Shanghai–Paris

This exhibition takes as its point of departure silver gelatin photographs shot in the two cities of “Shanghai” and “Paris” in 2025. Shanghai is a city the artist has intermittently visited over the past twenty years, while Paris has been her base of life for more than three decades. Yet the body of work presented here does not seek to depict the history or culture inherent to each city. Instead, the two cities are presented as equivalent “scatter points,” their physical and cultural distances dissolving in the process of disassembling and reconstructing fragments of images.

Treating the darkroom as a laboratory, the artist intentionally agitates the normative techniques of silver gelatin photography to bestow new visages upon monochrome prints. Exposure, development, fixation, and at times deliberate chemical alteration—the surfaces born from these processes bear unknown textures etched into the very skin of the photograph, constituting an attempt to reach what might be called the “beyond of photography.” This act, which could at times be described as “anti-photographic” or even “anti-pictorial,” opens an ambivalent creative realm.

What at first glance appears as painting is in fact the result of photograms generated by the interplay of light, shadow, and chemical reactions in the darkroom. Furthermore, these silver prints are collaged onto canvas, occasionally layered with pages from old garments or vintage magazines like geological strata. Here, the image captured as a photograph acquires material thickness and tactility, transforming into an archaeological layer of memory.

The artist regards the city as a “vast text” or a “full-scale map,” noting the inherent contradiction of it being a “medium that is closed yet open in all directions.” To “capture” such a city through photography is inherently difficult; rather, the artist’s experimental approach acknowledges the city as an elusive fluid entity and, with a sense of play, constructs “enigmatic sites,” thereby connecting to a “never-ending spatio-temporal narrative.”

This exhibition is neither a simple comparison of two cities nor an exercise in nostalgia. It is, rather, an extension of the photographic medium itself—capturing the moment when an image transmutes from a “place” into a “being,” and handing over to the viewer the agency to connect the scattered points. It functions as a participatory geography.

« 散点 »上海–巴黎

本展覽以2025年於「上海」與「巴黎」兩座城市拍攝的銀鹽照片為起點。上海是藝術家二十年來斷續停留的城市,巴黎則是其定居超過三十年的生活據點。然而,此次展出的作品系列,並非旨在刻畫兩座城市各自背負的歷史或文化。相反地,兩座城市被視為等價的「散點」呈現,其物理與文化距離,在圖像碎片被解體與重構的過程中逐漸消融。

藝術家將暗房作為實驗場,透過刻意攪動銀鹽攝影的規範技法,為單色相片賦予嶄新的面貌。曝光、顯影、定影,乃至刻意的化學變質——歷經這些過程而誕生的畫面,是銘刻於照片肌膚之上的未知質感,堪稱一場朝向「攝影彼岸」的抵達嘗試。此一行為時而被稱作「反攝影」或「反繪畫」,實則開拓了一個兼具雙重意義的創造領域。

乍看宛如繪畫的表面,實則由暗房的光影與化學反應所生成的光影照片(攝影圖)構成。此外,這些銀鹽相片被拼貼於畫布之上,時而疊加舊衣或舊雜誌頁面如地層。在此,曾作為影像被攝下的畫面,獲得了物質的厚度與觸覺性,蜕變為記憶的考古學層理。

藝術家將城市視為「巨大的文本」或「等比例的地圖」,並指出其中存在著「既封閉又向八方敞開的媒體」此一內在矛盾。以攝影「捕捉」如此城市本非易事;藝術家的實驗性手法,正是在承認城市乃難以捉摸的流動體的前提下,以遊玩之心構築「迷樣的場域」,從而接續至「永不完結的時空物語」。

本展覽並非單純的雙城比較,亦不流於鄉愁。它更是一場對攝影媒介本身的擴展,捕捉影像從「場所」蜕變為「存在」的瞬間,並將串聯散在點與點的權利交予觀者手中,堪稱一門參與式的地理学。

« 散点 »上海ーパリ

本展は、2025年に「上海」と「パリ」という二つの都市で撮影された銀塩写真を出発点とする。上海は作家が20年来、断続的に滞在を重ねる街であり、パリは30年以上にわたり生活の基盤としてきた都市である。しかし、ここに並ぶ作品群は、それぞれの都市が背負う歴史や文化を主題として描き出すものではない。むしろ、二つの都市は等価な「散点」として提示され、その物理的・文化的距離は、イメージの断片として解体・再構成される過程で溶解していく。

作家は暗室を実験場とし、銀塩写真の規範的技法を意図的に撹拌することで、モノクローム・プリントに新たな相貌を与えている。露光、現像、定着、あるいは意図的な化学的変質──それらのプロセスを経て生み出される画面は、写真の皮膚に刻まれた未知の質感であり、いわば「写真の彼方」へと到達しようとする試みである。この行為は、時に「反写真」的とも「反絵画」的とも呼びうる、両義的な創造の領域を開いている。

一見、ペインティングと見えるその表面は、暗室の光と影、化学反応によって生成されたフォトグラムによるものだ。 また、それらの銀塩プリントはキャンバス上にコラージュされ、時に古着や古雑誌のページが層のように重ねられる。ここでは、写真として撮影されたイメージが、物質としての厚みと触覚性を獲得し、記憶の考古学的な層へと変容している。

作家は、都市を「巨大なテキスト」あるいは「原寸大の地図」と見なし、そこには「閉じながらも八方に開かれたメディア」としての矛盾が内在すると語る。そのような都市を写真で「写し取る」ことは困難であり、むしろ作家の実験的アプローチは、都市が形にとらえにくい流動体であることを認めた上で、遊び心をもって「奇妙な場所」を構築し、「完結しない時空間の物語」へと接続する試みなのである。

本展は、単なる二都市の比較や、ノスタルジアに回収されない。むしろ、写真という媒体そのものを拡張し、イメージが「場所」から「存在」へと変容する瞬間を捉え、鑑賞者に散在する点と点とを自ら結びつける権利を手渡す、参加型の地理学として機能する。

Musée d’art de la préfecture de Shiga BUTSUDORI L’expression photographique des « objets »

Shiga Museum of Art 40th Anniversary

BUTSUDORI 

The Photographic Expression of “Objects”

January 18 (Sat.) March 23 (Sun.), 2025

If you have ever picked up a camera, you have most likely aimed the lens at the everyday objects around you. The act of taking pictures has become even more widespread with the shift from cameras to smartphones. Further-more, the rise of social media has caused an overflow of photographs of “Objects” across the globe. The word butsudori originally referred to the act of photographing products used in advertisements. However if we focus on the act of photographing objects, we realize that it is an important form of expression that has continued throughout the history of photography.

The exhibition is an effort to reframe photographic works that result from capturing objects by taking inspiration from the term butsudori, looking at one of the many facets of the rich photographic expressions in Japan.

This exhibition presents over 200 works, including original photographic negatives from the Meiji period designated as important cultural properties, photographs of cultural properties, still life, advertisements, and works by contemporary artists.

Butsudori is an act very close to us. Let’s take a look into its depths.

Press release

https://waitingroom.jp/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20241008_WGRM_ONODERA_PR_ENG.pdf

WAITINGROOM (Tokyo) is pleased to welcome Paris-based Yuki Onodera as guest artist to present “Parcours – Between pneumatic post and homing pigeon -,” her first solo exhibition with the gallery, from November 2 (Sat) to December 8 (Sun), 2024. This exhibition is a part of Art Week Tokyo 2024.

Inspired by the gallery’s location on the site of a former post office, Onodera’s new works are based on the themes of communication and the transmission of information, connecting the city of Paris where she lives to this gallery in Tokyo. These works were created in such a way that different spaces and time frames (past and present) overlap, with communication systems as the starting point. The exhibition will feature approximately 40 works on a wide variety of postal themes, ranging from large vertical prints over two meters in length to small, postcard-sized prints with stamps and postmarks, all connected by a single red line from the front of the gallery to a space further in the back.
