A Japanese aesthetic and philosophical concept that describes the pause and significant interval between spaces, objects, sounds, movements, and events, and which understands emptiness as an active element that gives form, rhythm, and meaning to experience. The exhibition design is supported by architect and landscape designer Sakae Ishii.
The exhibition brings together photographs, photobooks, and poem-boxes produced over more than three decades of Yamamoto Masao's career, from the series A Box of Ku, Nakazora, Kawa=Flow, Shizuka=Cleanse, and Bonsai – Microcosms Macrocosms, developed between the early 1990s and recent years. It is from Yamamoto's poetics that Sakae Ishii conceives her collaboration, bringing to the gallery space elements that evoke an atmosphere of rest and contemplation.
