Artist introduction starts 18:30.

In How Long is Now?, Miho Kajioka’s (b.1973, Japan) delicate surfaces conjure memories, half-remembrances, and faded yet still discernible images. Featuring the artist’s latest works and new explorations into colour, this exhibition follows the journey of a solitary figure, transported through dreamlike landscapes that exist within and beyond the boundaries of the tangible. Captivating all senses, as time takes on a whimsical quality, the artist shifts between the familiar and the ethereal.

Kajioka is fascinated by the chronology and meaning of events. According to her, photography captures moments and freezes them; printing impressions is like playing with memories and the sense of time. Her minimalist images draw on the Japanese tradition of “wabi-sabi” – the appreciation of beauty in imperfection and transience, and the Zen/Taoist belief that the essence of an object exists in the empty space inside and around it. These negative spaces in her meticulously exposed, toned, and hand-finished prints hold equal significance to the subjects that emerge.

Miho Kajioka's work is available to purchase from £850 + VAT.
