Photographic work

Von Lintel Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new, large-scale photographic work by Izima Kaoru.

Izima Kaoru's tableaux from Landscape with a Corpse stage the elegant demise of expensively dressed models in lush landscapes and urban settings. These elaborate tales are told story-board style, with each progressive photograph getting closer to it's subject until the final close-up shot. The eye searches for clues and finds details in an implied narrative; a dropped purse or an empty rowboat beg questions: who did it, and why?

Formally composed using oblique angles, extreme foregrounds and overhead shots, the series pictures an old Japan-one serenely rural, the other messily urban-dressed up for a glamorous, but apparently dangerous century. Kaoru's death scenes are fantasies, both his model's and his own. They continue a long tradition of tragedy, drama and beautiful deaths in Japanese theater, art and literature.

Born in Japan, Izima Kaoru exhibits his photographs widely in the United States, Europe and Japan. His work appears in many public and private collections internationally. This is his third show with Von Lintel Gallery.

Opening. September 8, 6-8 pm
