Items related to Yuriko Takagi - Sei
This lusciously produced volume examines the multiple meanings deriving from a single word, also exploring how seemingly similar images can be perceived so differently as a result of our personal associations. 'Sei' is a Japanese word which, although always pronounced the same, can be represented by no less than 28 kanji characters with a diverse host of meanings: star, voice, blue, sex, energy, death, betrayal, peace of mind, purity. Here, the photographer Yuriko Takagi opens up this semantic cacophony, in depictions of 28 flower buds, each of which is associated with a separate kanji character. Streaked, folded petals, downy pistils, silken stamens, woolly aigrettes: are these flowers, sexual organs, bits of creased taffeta, or puffed-up tissue paper? Takagi's images are as polymorphic as the kanji that inspired them. Acclaimed writer Alberto Manguel explores the 28 meanings of the word 'sei' in the accompanying text.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEUF. SEI : une même prononciation, un même mot de la langue japonaise, mais vingt-huit caractères kanji offrant une multitude de sens : étoile, voix, bleu, sexe, énergie, mort, trahison, quiétude, pureté. La photographe Yuriko Takagi ouvre la boîte de Pandore au fil de ses vingt-huit boutons de fleurs photographiés en plan serré, en noir et blanc : à chaque kanji sa fleur. Que donne-t-elle à voir ? Fleurs de chair ou végétales ? Le regard se perd dans ces boutons fleurs qui évoquent autant de mondes mystérieux et revêtent donc des sens divers. Pétales striés, pliés, pistils duveteux, étamines soyeux, pédoncules âpres, aigrettes laineuses. Est-ce des fleurs, des sexes féminins, des morceaux de taffetas froissés, des papiers de soie soufflés ? Les sens se réveillent : tactilité, vertige, mondes sourds, sombres ou lumineux, la photographe nous plonge aux frontières du connu pour une mise en abime de la compréhension et de la perception. Ses images révèlent ce qui est caché, bouscule notre appréhension du monde. Elles nous tendent un miroir, où nous voyons, projetons, nos désirs inconscients ; elles racontent la pluralité du monde. - Nombre de page(s) : 80 - Poids : 706g - Genre : Monographie / Histoire de l'art / Essais / Dictionnaires.
