Naoya Hatakeyama

L.A. Galerie Lothar Albrecht, Frankfurt

Slow Glass. Hatakeyama photographed streets and landscapes through a glass plate covered with drops of water. The focus, however, is not on the scenery behind the glass, which dissolves into fuzzy colors and shapes like a watercolor painting, but on the water drops that rest on top of the picture similar to a relief and refract light. The landscapes behind the glass seem strangely unfamiliar and lost.

Slow Glass

Naoya Hatakeyama produced the Slow Glass series as artist in residence in Milton Keynes/England in 2001, working outside of his native Japan for the first time. This new oeuvre is readily discernible from his earlier works.

The landscapes behind the glass seem strangely unfamiliar and lost.
As in all of Hatakeyama's works, the composition of the pictures is extremely precise.
The title of the series goes back to a science-fiction story by Bob Shaw. It revolves around the invention of a special type of glass, which retrieves scenes from the past.
Slow Glass, then, can be read as a reflection on the nature of remembrance through the medium of photography.

The artist will be present at the opening.

Tue-Fri 12.00 - 19.00 Sat 11.00 - 16.00
