Tetsuo Sakou's Unique Photography
Tetsuo Sakou, known for his one-of-a-kind photographic techniques, presents a stunning collection of works that encapsulate the essence of Japanese landscapes, architecture, and the intricacies of everyday life. He transcends traditional photography by abstractly reconstructing light and shadow, moving viewers into a visual realm that blends reality with fantasy.
His exhibition features captivating pieces from his photo book,
JAPAN SHOT, showcasing how he transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary visual experiences. With his ability to capture fleeting instances through his artistic lens, Tetsuo invites spectators to swing between worlds – one grounded in daily routines and the other soaring in imaginative possibilities.
The Enchantment of DIGITAL PHOTO KAKEJIKU
In a fascinating segment of the exhibition known as
DIGITAL PHOTO KAKEJIKU, Tetsuo's photography seamlessly integrates into the traditional Japanese scroll format. By using gold and silver leaf, the photographs take on a luminescent quality, creating a unique dialogue between contemporary photography and traditional craftsmanship. This amalgamation results in an ethereal artistic style that redefines beauty through the lens of Japanese aesthetics.
Akiko Sakou: Crafting Narratives Through Photography
Alongside her husband, Akiko Sakou showcases her talent as a photographer who imbues her subjects with rich narratives. Based in Miyazaki and Tokyo, Akiko expertly crafts both two-dimensional and three-dimensional scenes, often utilizing dioramas for her work. Since 2013, she has also explored expressing her unique worldview through intricate ballpoint pen drawings that depict surreal landscapes inhabited by spirits. Her works offer viewers a gentle journey between the real and the surreal.
Original Creations and Limited Editions
During the exhibition, attendees can purchase original artworks, prints, photo books, and postcards, providing an opportunity to take a piece of this extraordinary artistic experience home.
As the Sakous prepare to unveil their first international exhibition, they hope to inspire conversations and connections that blossom beyond linguistic barriers. This duo exhibition aims to intertwine their distinct artistic voices, celebrating the essence of Japanese culture while inviting the audience to partake in a new dialogue through the universal language of art.
