Light Trace (Series)
DESCRIPTION
In the 'Lumen' series of projects the topic of investigation is light itself. It is a lifetime project in which various aspects of light are explored in separate bodies of work. My aim is to let light reveal itself.
'Light Trace' 光 のトレース
This gallery resulted from a collaboration in London with Tokyo-based light artist/ fashion designer, Erina Kashihara.
In one day I photographed six pieces of Erina's Light Mode Art.
Light emitted from within clothing and accessories combined with directed movements clothe the model within traces of light.
Light is the conduit between art and fashion.
