the prints are hung simply by two small black map taks in the top corners • they float away from the wall, shifting slightly as one moves through the gallery ¥ in other installations the prints are placed on the floor with small blue river rocks scattered over and around them
I was walking through a small park behind the house I was staying at in Kami Itabashi, near Tokyo, Japan when I came across this collection of wild chestnuts. I shot them loking straight down and instinctively placed each chestnut i the lower right corner. Later, when I hung them for exhibition, I crumpled each individual print to give it texture. The final array becasme just as much about surface and photo as object as about the literal content.
