“Niepce dreamed that photograph as machine for spirit capturing.”
This time, we, CASHI gallery hold exhibition of three young photographers called “Box of Niepce/right” and “Box of Niepce/left”.The exhibition will be by two composition.
There is a theory that Nicephore Niepce, one of the inventors of photography[2] and a pioneer in the field, dreamed the following things the principle of the photograph.
Niepce thought the light is something like a ball which bounds when it touches various object, as “a fluid = a spirit”. He tried to capture this “a fluid = a spirit” by photograph, fix the marks with avoiding its rebounds. <P.62 “Le mystere de la chambre claire, photographie et inconscient” Serge Tisseron, translated by Masaru Aoyama>
The act of pressing shutter is exactly same as the act of capturing.Photographers have been confine and fix various things like remembrance, air and light. If the things they can capture was something like spirits, how wonderful and romantic it is.
To prove Niepce’s idea of the photograph as machine of capturing the spirits, CASHI gallery will show the photographs which confined power that shakes the viewers, as the exhibition of two composition.These two composition are made by same artists but we will try to show different surface of each artists like A side and B side of a record.
The artists will appear at the reception party at the first day of exhibition. Please enjoy our next exhibition “Box of Niepce/right” and “Box of Niepce/left”.
