Rinko Kawauchi
Untitled, from the series Ametsuchi

2013

About the Item

With a title that loosely translates to “heaven and earth,” Rinko Kawauchi’s 2013 publication, Ametsuchi addresses the inherently circular nature of creation and destruction through a visual examination of traditional Japanese agricultural techniques paired with rituals that center human connection. Here, we see an isolated line of fire streak across a nighttime landscape, backed by an impossibly indigo, starless sky. The concentrated light and energy is so intense that the element of fire becomes abstracted, floating above the landscape that it is actively changing, almost ghostlike. This abstraction of transition is resonant in a world that is constantly changing, a feeling that the images in Ametsuchi address with the hope of calming our nerves as we ease into the universe’s consistent cycles of loving and losing. For this project, Kawauchi abandoned her traditional Rolleiflex for color 4x5 film, resulting in a stunningly sharp rendering and luscious color that is exemplified in this print. Framing is available upon request, though this print is available to ship flat as well.
