"Niepce dreamed that photograph as machine for spirit capturing."
There is a theory that Nicephore Niepce, one of the inventors of photography[2] and a pioneer in the field, dreamed the following tings the principle of the photograph. Niepce thought the light is something like a ball which bounds when it touches various object, as "a fluid = a spirit". He tried to capture this "a fluid = a spirit" by photograph, fix the marks with avoiding its rebounds. <P.62 "Le mystere de la chambre claire, photographie et inconscient" Serge Tisseron, translated by Masaru Aoyama>
The act of pressing shutter is exactly same as the act of capturing. Photographers have been confine and fix various things like remembrance, air and light. If the things they can capture was something like spirits, how wonderful and romantic it is. To prove Niepce's idea of the photograph as machine of capturing the spirits, CASHI gallery will show the photographs which confined power that shakes the viewers, as the exhibiton of two composition. These two composition are made by same artists but we will try to show different surface of each artists like A side and B side of a record.
