Lumen Zine Heft 10: Hiroshi Takizawa

Hiroshi Takizawa's photographs are the result of a complex process in which the relationship between object, material, image, and their spatial qualities are probed. His series Fingerprinted Objects shows items made from clay that stand out sharply against a dark background yet have an indefinable presence themselves-an amorphous lump without recognizable objecthood steeped in colorful light whose source is equally undetectable. In photographing the images over and over, their vexing, shimmering coloration emerges as a self-generating process. [...] Ultimately, this project is about the perceptual parameters of the human visual apparatus and the extent of our sensory abilities. Can we feel a photograph? Patricia Grzonka

In its capacity as a micromuseum, MuseumQuartier Vienna's Sternenpassage highlights artists whose work broadly relates to photography. Each resulting series is presented across five illuminated circular display cases mounted on the walls. Lumen Zine is a miniature catalogue supplementing exhibitions at Sternenpassage.
