Grain of Light ~ Mikiya Takimoto

 
 

“The sunlight reflects off the rippling surface of the ocean and creates thousands of particles of light. This incessant, inevitable process is also a succession of momentary miracles, no two of which are ever alike. I wanted to preserve these ephemeral particles of light and the act that has been producing them ceaselessly since primordial times on Earth.”

In this series of stunning photographs, Mikiya Takimoto expresses a fascination with the sea and its movements. Abstract fields of frothing water, glimmering expanses of ripples, and cresting waves like snow-capped mountains are all portrayed in a palette of icy whites and blues. Often it is as if the viewer is peering down at the surface of our planet from high above, able to observe immense, frozen landscapes with their tectonic swirls, upheavals and rifts. Captivating and sublime work from this Japanese master.

陽光從波濤洶湧的海洋表面反射,並產生數千個光粒子。 這不斷、不可避免的過程,是瞬時一連串的奇蹟,並沒兩樣。 我想保留這些短暫的光粒子以及自原始時代以來就不斷產生的光影。”“-Mikiya Takimoto道。 在一系列令人驚嘆的照片中,Mikiya Takimoto表達了對海洋及其運動的著迷。 泛起白沫的水,閃爍的漣漪和雪山等頂峰的抽象領域都用冰冷的白色和藍色調描繪。 通常情況下,觀看者好像是從高空凝視著我們的行星表面,能夠通過其構造旋渦,動盪和裂谷觀察巨大的冰凍景觀。 這位日本大師的作品令人著迷和崇高。

陽の光が海面の揺らぎに反射して幾千もの光の粒をつくる。常に動き続けるこの必然的な行為は、二度と同じものがうまれ得ない瞬間的な奇跡の連続でもある。原初の地球から果てしなく続いていく行為、その刹那の光の粒を大切に露光してみようと思った。

The photographic work of Mikiya Takimoto is rooted in time, over the seven continents, often in extreme conditions under complex protocols. It requires a long drawn out photographic process to achieve these unique images, each one of which carries within it the symbolism of a global momentum. His work has been published in a dozen books and shown at multiple exhibitions.
