THE HUMAN FACE FOR PROJECTION

The human face, long a medium of expression for the soul, is used by Japanese photographer Miki Takahashi as a surface for projection. Through double exposure, the Toyko-based artist allows portraits of herself to reveal her inner feelings. The merged cityscapes of her “Inside” series become vessels of feeling, emotion, and allusion. Time stands still, captured in moments of floating freedom and inward reflection. These self-portraits are therefore both moving and remarkably expressive. Landscape and portrait merge smoothly into one another to produce a gentle melancholy. Because we only half recognise the face of the young woman, the effect is particularly mysterious.
