We have received a text from photographer and photo critic Chihiro Minato, regarding Shinji Ohmaki's photogram work "moment," which was presented at the solo exhibitions at the National Art Center, Tokyo and the Art Front Gallery at the end of 2023.
The large-scale sculpture "Gravity and Grace," which served as the inspiration for Ohmaki's photogram works, was first presented at the "Aichi Triennale 2016," where Minato served as artistic director. It became one of Ohmaki's representative series over the following years. After several years, the large vase installation, which has been presented in various locations both domestically and internationally, continues to emit its light and shadow, now taking on a new dimension through the form of photograms. This time, Minato speaks about these photograms.
