- **Event Description**: The exhibition Flowing brings together key bodies of work by Japanese photographer Yasuhiro Ogawa from recent years, alongside new works, revealing the inner coherence of his photographic thinking. Ogawa’s color photography operates at the threshold between landscape and abstraction, between perception and dissolution. Color increasingly replaces form without relinquishing compositional control. The world does not disappear; rather, it withdraws from unequivocal legibility.Ogawa works within a Japanese photographic tradition in which nature is understood not as a motif but as a condition: a space of time, emptiness, and resistance. His photographs are not representations of landscape but perceptual surfaces upon which light, color, movement, and duration are inscribed. Abstraction here is not a stylistic device but the consequence of an attitude that conceives seeing as a tentative, open process.From travel and movement emerges a narrative of visual fragments that dissolve boundaries between city and countryside, human and nature, history and fiction. Ogawa prefers to travel by train; the window becomes a photographic threshold between interior and exterior, stasis and velocity. The passing landscape loses its stability and becomes surface, becomes color. Blur articulates a temporal condition. In certain series, Ogawa intensifies this experience through the use of prepared, hand-ground lenses, imparting a subtle texture to the images—like a veil drawn across reality.A defining characteristic of many of Ogawa’s works is darkness. It is not a dramatic effect but an organizing principle. Especially in winter, his preferred season for travel, images emerge marked by subdued luminosity and reduced chromatic range. Within darkness, colors appear sharpened and intensified, comparable to traditional Japanese interiors in which lacquered surfaces or gold leaf glow most vividly in low light. This aesthetic resonates with a Japanese understanding of space in which concealment is not perceived as uncanny, but as poetic and complete.n the series Lost in Kyoto, Ogawa’s approach condenses into a photographic- philosophical reflection. Kyoto does not appear as a historical or cultural symbol, but as a fragmentary field—an overlay of nature, architecture, spirituality, and time. Temples, paths, trees in mist, and traces of human presence surface only to dissolve again. Nature becomes a carrier of meaning, pointing toward cyclical time, transience, and repetition.Central to this work is its reference to Zen Buddhism and the concept of Ku—emptiness. Ku does not signify absence or lack, but an open condition in which all elements are mutually interdependent. The circle, emblematic of this mode of thought, stands not for completion but for continual attempt. Ogawa’s photographs adhere to this principle as well: they do not seek closure, but approximation. Each image is another orbit, a renewed articulation within openness.Yasuhiro Ogawa (born 1968) is regarded as one of the most important contemporary photographers in Japan. His work combines the classical motifs and contemplative stance of Japanese landscape photography with contemporary photographic strategies such as abstraction, unconventional perspectives, and blur. He has received numerous awards for his work, including the Taiyo Award and the New Comer Award of the Photographic Society of Japan.
