Joel Meyerowitz “The Elements: Air/Water, Part 1”
Closes in 23 days
At Gallery White Room Tokyo
Media: Photography, Art Party
The genesis of “The Elements: Air/Water, Part 1” was sparked in July 2007, when Joel Meyerowitz was directing a video of Olympic divers from an underwater viewing room at a Florida pool. The repetition of dives had one thing in common; with every entry into the pool, an enormous plume of bubbles encased the diver. As each diver swam away, the bubbles coalesced into a cloud that rose to the surface and returned to the atmosphere. This small observation, about one Element's transition into another, led him to think about the individual qualities of the four Elements and their physical relationships. Meyerowitz responded immediately by beginning a study of the Elements and making a commitment to observe what these essential facts of life would look like in video and photographs.

1.5m角くらいの大きなプリント全面にプールの揺らいだ画面があって、その中をただよう水着の男性を見ているだけでうわついた気分になっていった。その浮遊感に溺れようとじっくり眺めているが、どうやらそれほどまでは入り混めず、それでも爽快感はあって部屋にほしい1枚。高いけど。
