An interlinking
A new series comprising images shot in the 6 x 6 square format that Kawauchi is known for, seen in ‘Utatane’ and ‘Illuminance’. The images in ‘An interlinking’ were assembled from Kawauchi’s photographic archive, reaching back two decades or more; some have never been seen by the public before. By contrast with the macro perspective often adopted in ‘M/E’, ‘An interlinking’ chiefly depicts the everyday – tiny lives shot from a faithfully life-sized perspective. Additionally, while ‘M/E’ was shot entirely digitally, the works in ‘An interlinking’ were all shot with a Rolleiflex 6 x 6 film camera. The print size is intentionally enlarged in order to place the viewer in a 1:1 relationship with each image.
