UNDER THE SUN OF ONOMICHI
“Under the Sun of Onomichi” is a project born directly from the experience of one month in the town of Onomichi, Hiroshima prefecture, during the AIR ONOMICHI residency program.The metaphoric importance of Light, related to the city and the history of that area, the aim of recording in a photographic way the effects of the sun, the meeting with an Origami maker and the connections between his art and the circle of life as a neverending process of distruction and reconstruction of things, are the starting points of the work. The video, which show the exposure to light of the blue sensitive paper sphere, and the 12 cyanotipes remained as a trace of the deconstruction of the modular Origami, are the documentation of the entire development of the project and a little part of Onomichi’s life on the background.

Realized in October 2009
in collaboration with AIR ONOMICHI Residency
Onomichi University (Hiroshima prefecture JP)
