Taka Ishii Gallery is pleased to present “ANTICAMERA(OF THE EYE)”, a solo exhibition by Hanako Murakami. This will be her first solo exhibition with the gallery and feature new works inspired by autochromes, a color photograph process from the early days of the medium.
Many of Hanako Murakami’s previous works were also produced based on her in-depth research of historical media, such as alternative photographic techniques or letterpress printing. Each of these series of works were accompanied by a text written by Murakami and addressing anecdotes from the original days of mechanical reproduction technology and her own experiences. Her works thus produce situations in which truth and fiction and historical fact and contemporary hypothesis are knotted together. In “APPARITION (OF THE SUN),” for example, she reproduced images resulting from an Internet search for the word “sun” and reproduced them as daguerrotypes. By capturing images of the sun with its flares and sunspots, which did not exist in the mid-19th century, when the daguerrotype was introduced as the world’s first commercialized photographic technique, she created aberrant images in which past and present technologies intersect. The work is, on one hand, an attempt to send photographic images, which have become infinitely reproducible as digital data, back to its ancestral past. On the other, it simultaneously addresses the notion of veracity essential to photography and film to function as a magnetic field in which the beginning and end of a medium are looped in coexistence.
