Standing alone in front of her work, you could feel as if you were in the scene yourself as the real world around you was fading away. The ethereal atmosphere of her artwork will lead you to somewhere far away― somewhere in an immemorial past when the lake was not yet given its name, or maybe a place deep inside you where you have something inexpressible. Caught up in the incessant business of your daily life, you might hardly find time to go deep inside yourself. Yagi’s works, however, will let you think even of the day when you will leave this world. Viewed through her photos, which exude warmth and tenderness, the journey to the other world appears peaceful. Among many photographers taking picture of Lake Biwa, only few can capture the lake in such scenery―as seen in Yagi’s works―that goes straight to viewers’ hearts. In a modern world flooded with information, we might easily lose ourselves. Yagi’s artwork may be a ray of light that illuminates our forgotten self. More obviously, Lake Biwa itself seems delighted to be photographed by Yagi, so as to touch people’s hearts..” BIWAKO BIENNALE General Director Yoko Nakata Here are details about the work of Japanese artist Reiko Yagi. The objects of Reiko Yagi interest are intimate environmental connections. Places and spaces of her fine art landscapes talk of the irreversible flows of life. She reaches the wisdom and beauty of imperfections with the simplicity, tranquility, and naturalness. Reiko Yagi derives her photography from the philosophical principles of the Zen tradition and her fine art landscapes reflect the ‘Wabi and Sabi’ aesthetic concept of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature. She discreetly suggests qualities of impermanence, asymmetry, and imperfection. A pinhole camera without lenses is the tool she uses to render these emotions. The artwork is printed from the color Analog on custom handmade Ise-Washi paper, conferring a special material quality to the photograph.
