Afterglow

POETIC SCAPE is pleased to announce “Afterglow,” a solo exhibition by Daisaku Oozu.

Oozu’s practice centers on the act of perceiving light, specifically through the windows of moving vehicles such as trains and buses. This body of work captures the seemingly mundane light glimpsed through subway windows—light that exists in what Oozu describes as a “near, yet distant place.” These fleeting moments are only accessible to us via the “moving frame” of a train car as it traverses the darkness of an underground tunnel.

The exhibition consists of two parts: photographic prints that fix the rushing light onto a flat surface, and a projection piece that breathes time and space back into the captured light. We hope this exhibition provides an opportunity to re-encounter light—a subject as familiar as it is fundamental.
