Hajime Sawatari’s artistic practice has been navigating the intersection of reality and fiction, capturing a delicate boundary by portraying a female model. For this exhibition, the artist features a woman who is alone at home in the afternoon. Her gestures and expressions, caught in a natural and unadorned state, are both fictional and yet offer a glimpse of reality. While the images are drawn from Sawatari’s imagination, they resonate with authentic moments that aim to capture the ephemeral essence of the reality that exists beyond the fictional realm.
Manipulating the unique aspect of photography, the artist invites the audience into the interplay between non-fiction and fiction.
