Rinko Kawauchi (born in Shiga, Japan in 1972) is a renowned artist in her native country. In Europe and the USA only insiders know her photographs, in which she transforms daily life or nature into something breathtaking and new. The exhibition shows large-scale photographs from the series “Ametsuchi”. By reference to the destructive and at the same time rejuvenating power of fire, reduced landscape images depicting the traditional controlled slash-and-burn land clearance address the relationship between people, nature, and time. In addition, the exhibition presents small intimate photographs from the series “Illuminance”. Here Rinko Kawauchi focuses on gentle sometimes also disturbing things or activities of daily life—based on her personal experiences. In her choice of details and perspectives and the subtle use of natural light in combination with often translucent colors, Rinko Kawauchi has found a very personal, distinctive language for her photography. Her groups of works allow viewers to see their everyday surroundings with new eyes, with greater consciousness, and a broader perspective.
