Notes from ILLUMINANCE by Rinko Kawauchi and David Chandler

Rinko Kawauchi's images depict an internal movement of the single image. She captures a mobility that is contrary to the idea of photography which is normally a static moment of time. They are delicate images where double exposure has been used to achieve a sense of movement. The light is ethereal and gives the impression of a  life that notices every nuance of nature and every fleeting moment of time.

From The Mobile Image by Parveen Adams

"Kawauchis work produces the movement of division within the image."(pg 63)

"... light itself becomes the object of representation - reflection, refraction, flare, focus and shadow. The images play with the repertoire of light" (pg64)
