Video: Layered photographic landscapes of Nobuhiro Nakanishi

We all probably loved watching cartoons and photographs on a slide projector. It is especially interesting when each frame is framed in a separate plastic frame, and these small "pictures" are lined up one after the other in anticipation of their time. The multi-layered photographic landscapes of the Japanese artist Nobuhiro Nakanishi are somewhat similar. All that is missing is a giant slide projector and a huge white door - leading only to the dwelling of giants.
Artist, sculptor, photographer and jack of all trades, Nobuhiro Nakanishi was born in the Japanese city of Fukuoka 35 years ago. Halfway through his life, he found himself faced with an interesting creative task - to show how the viewer forms an impression from a picture, and indeed any work of art.
The famous Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that one cannot enter the same river twice, because everything flows, everything changes. The river of time not only carries away its waters forever, but gradually washes away our past self, and we can no longer perceive the world in the old way. We are as fluid and changeable as streams: someone boils and foams, someone flows smoothly and quietly, but everyone moves.
Our vision of works of art is also changing. So, each time, re-reading War and Peace, we see a different novel in front of us, and, probably, that's why we don't lose interest in it. Nobuhiro Nakanishi's photographic landscapes are also about this: that time changes us and our perception. And the general idea, for example, of a picture is not just made up of the sum of its views. Everything is thinner here: one image is superimposed on another, a third peeps out from under them, and even a fourth one appears.
In addition, Nobuhiro Nakanishi created his own model of the foggy world. Slightly different frames, number 24, are imprinted on huge plexiglass plates. The multi-layered photographic landscapes of the Japanese master form blurry images, as if hidden behind a slight haze. In the fog, a person is poorly oriented. So, we are not able to correctly assess the distance, we see only the approximate outlines of objects and confuse colors.
Life in fog is not easy, but wonderful for anyone who does not like straightforwardness and boring certainty.
