Sakiko Nomura constructs her images in the shadows. Photographing her models in places as bare as their bodies, intimacy is at the heart of her work. Her images evoke the hushed atmosphere of rooms we recognize without having visited them, the rustling of sheets, the rustling of a curtain half-opened to let a ray of light enter the darkness. She approaches love, sex, relationships, and the fragility of human beings with modesty and gentleness. Combining Polaroids in trios, mixing places and moments, Nomura has created short stories that reinvent themselves according to the viewer's imagination. The Polaroid, which belongs as much to the private world as to professional photographers, is a kind of magic. By virtue of its unique physical appearance, it becomes a small spatio-temporal window that transports those who stand in front of the photograph to the moment it was taken. It is this slightly different relationship to time that appeals to Nomura: \"I believe that our relationship with Polaroids can change depending on the place, the moment we look at them,\" she says. The book was thus designed so that the reader can either keep the initial sequence or compose their own triptychs, in order to adapt the images to their current feelings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galerie Echo 119","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47557296030028,"sku":"","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/7433\/3748\/files\/4d7f5b63-47e7-4c15-846c-ddf712cbe091-l_9b703861-8c7f-4e3a-8872-d68cc0061a8b.png?v=1704984049"},{"product_id":"sakiko-nomura-room-416","title":"Sakiko Nomura - Room 416","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSakiko Nomura\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRoom 416\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Published by Galerie Écho 119, 2022\u003cbr\u003e Book size 13.5 x 15.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e 64 pages\u003cbr\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e Printed by Die Keure\u003cbr\u003e Afterword Pauline Vermare\u003cbr\u003e Language French, English\u003cbr\u003e Limited edition of 420\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRoom 416 presents the work of Japanese photographer Sakiko Nomura around the polaroid. Sakiko Nomura builds her images in the shadows. Photographing her models in places as bare as their bodies, intimacy is at the heart of her work. Her images evoke the muffled atmosphere of rooms that we recognize without having visited them, the rustling of sheets, the swish of a curtain that is opened to let a ray of light in. She deals with love, sex, relationships and the fragility with modesty and gentleness. Combining the Polaroids here in a trio, mixing places and times, Nomura has created short stories that reinvent themselves according to the viewer's imagination. The polaroid, which belongs to both the private and professional worlds of photography, has a magical quality. Because of its physical and unique aspect, it becomes a small space-time window that transports those who stand in front of the photograph into the moment of the shot. It is this slightly different relationship at time that Nomura enjoys: \"I believe that our relationship to polaroids can change depending on where we look at them, at what moment,\" she says. The book has been designed so that the reader can either keep the initial sequence or compose his or her own triptychs, in order to adapt the images to his or her present feelings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e-----\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRoom 416 presents the work of Japanese photographer Sakiko Nomura around the Polaroid.
