Transparency is the new mystery

22 immagini di nudi e cristalli, del fotografo giapponese Mayumi Hosokura. La fragile silhouette di una mano, un corpo nudo arrotolato o la simmetria dei minerali cristallini sono mostrati in immagini bianche e nere morbide e traslucide, collegate da una enigmatica logica interna.

“I was prepared for the transformation of the forest – the crystalline tress hanging like icons in those luminous covers, the jewelled casements of the leaves overhead, fused into a lattice of prisms, through which the sun shone in a thousand rainbows, the birds and crocodiles frozen into grotesque postures like heraldic beasts carved from jade and quartz…” – JG Ballard, The Crystal World
