Shigeru Onishi – The Possibility of Existence
Until 9 January 2022
“In his photographs, Shigeru Onishi attempts to transcend time and space: his photographs present multiple moments brought together in a single image. He disregarded all the rules of the darkroom by ‘painting’ the photographic emulsion onto photo paper with a brush, deliberately creating irregularities in the development of the image, using acids to cause deliberate discolouration, and hot chemical baths to manipulate the development process of his prints. The result is a collection of dreamy – and sometimes sinister – photo montages, in which nudes, cityscapes, trees, portraits and interiors seem to merge.”
