And yet always clean, the luminosity perfectly balanced, Daikichi Amano is in total control of the visual he gives us, which provokes a beguiling synesthesia. It feels like a meat chamber, but the images are humid, a warm breath gone cold, the paradox of life is present throughout in a fantasy that takes you beyond its surreal form, and the brief lapses of reason that pierce the viewings whisper, in horror and amazement, this is no photoshop job.
Quelle douleur exquise.
The exhibition runs until 24th October@ the Bongout Showroom
