NOGUCHI RIKA – TO THE NIGHT PLANET
2016-08-15In her second solo show at the Loock Galerie, NOGUCHI Rika shows the 28-part series To the Night Planet (2014), photographed in analogue. It was shot from the M29 bus, en route between Charlottenburg and Kreuzberg. An austere conceptual work gives rise to photography that seems almost painterly. It depicts the big city in the light of the night: glaring headlights and streetlights indirectly illuminate the urban landscapes of buildings, in the darkness visible only through their light sources. Specifically and sensitively, Noguchi utilizes photographic techniques such as cross-fade, over-exposure and soft focus. Chance nighttime encounters become poetry. A video (2015) shot at the same time will be shown to accompany the show.
