«Passage Sets: One Pulls Pivots at the Tip of the Tongue»

“Passage” as text, as travel, as change over time, as architecture. “Set” as pair, as illusionistic architecture, as device “Set” as in mathematics. A series of haiku-like “passages” make up the work presenting architectural images shot in and around Tokyo—contrasting the modern and the ancient, focusing on light; in Karlsruhe, Germany, antiquated vehicles cross, dock, and continue on their trajectories. The subject matter is presented as a poetic set of musings and projections dealing with notions of sensuality/sexuality and identity in cyberspace in contrast with the “nature” of avtual spaces.
