Kawauchi’s latest book, a dazzling composition of photographs of controlled field burnings in Aso in Japan’s Kumamoto Prefecture, where she “first had the impression of standing on a star”, as well as images of yokagura night dance ceremonies, the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem and more.
Having shifted from her hallmark Rolleiflex 6×6 square format to a 4×5 medium, Kawauchi is achieving an unprecedented sense of scale.
An ambitious new series or works that attempt to be firmly rooted to and engaged with this Earth we inhabit, and to convey a unique vision of our world.
