Photo Exhibition
水面に映る虚像は、写真になることで別種の実像を描く。森島はそれを風景として捉えるのではなく、上下や左右を反転させることにより浮遊感を与えるとともに、時には人工と自然の混ざり合った抽象絵画のようなイメージを生み出している。本展覧会では、築130年の京町家に、水面からイメージを得たこれらの写真を大きく引き延ばして展示することで、虚像と実像による、独自な調和と融合を秘めた空間の創造を試みる。

-Visions from water reflection
During recent years, Morishima has been intrigued by reflections in water surfaces and continuously photographed these. When these virtual images reflected in water surfaces are being caught in photographs, these will generate different types of real images. Morishima does not intend to grasp these images as sceneries. Creating a sense of floating by turning the photo upside down and inverting the image from left to right, he produces images like abstract paintings where the natural and the artificial seem to merge. In this exhibition in a 130-year-old Kyoto machiya, enlarged photos from water surfaces bring forth a space where a specific kind of conversion and harmony can be found between visual images and real images.
