Mika Ninagawa has been taking pictures for years. Almost secretly, her camera has grasped the daily and undaily across the globe. She speaks of her eyes as transparent, with time floating through them, incessantly pointed towards a world that susurrantly continues to shine. To Ninagawa, 'Floating Yesterday' marks a new beginning of what she calls "Ninagawa Magic", the photographic translation of feelings she cannot communicate verbally.
Her pictures are a manifestation of her obsession "to stop things that cannot be stopped, to put an eternal stream to a halt, to annihilate the boundary between the inner self and the object, to exclude the impurities and purify what lies within the shutter. And then push it. Nothing more."
"Floating Yesterday" is also for sale in print, designed by SobueShin+cozfish, published by Kodansha, and created by FujiFilm.
(A5 format, full color, 192p., tentative price:¥2800)
