TSUTSUMI Asano
Biography
What does photography accumulate, and what does it lose, through the repeated recording of light and shadow? TSUTSUMI Asano is a photographer who explores this question through In progress, an ongoing series begun in 2023. The series begins with the photographing of a model space of Tsutsumi's own construction. The resulting works, once exhibited, are then illuminated and photographed again as prints. In this repetitive process, images undergo generation and erasure simultaneously. With each exhibition, the light and shadow of the gallery space are absorbed into the next stage of production, and the work continues to be renewed.
