Pleating Machine 2: Ko Nakajima x Yutaka Matsuzawa ― Rooms in the Photographs
While a moving image (visual) may on the one hand be regarded as merely a moving image, and a still image (photograph) merely regarded as a still image, it remains that we must consider still images to appreciate moving images, and vice-versa. This is readily illustrated in the case of filmic visuals as these are the product of juxtapositions of single photographic frames.
- Ko Nakajima (from interviews conducted on November 8 and November 21, 2018)
In 1969, Ko Nakajima journeyed to Yutaka Matsuzawa’s “Psi Room” to conduct a photo shoot. The “Psi Room” is both an atelier created by Matsuzawa and a space that can in itself be thought of as a work of art. The shoot was not easily realized as it was conducted in a room crammed with a profusion of finished and unfinished pieces. Nakajima’s intense engagement with both Matsuzawa and the room over a period of two days were productive of semi-structured, semi-random performances, to which these photographs stand testament.
This cycle of approximately 1500 photographs, in addition to constituting 1500 perspectives on the encounter of Nakajima with Matsuzawa and this single room, are also a confluence of incidental fragments of a singular event, that is to say the performance produced by Nakajima, Matsuzawa, and the “Psi Room.” Can this archive serve to facilitate fresh perspectives both on this singular event and on the expansive photographic cycle? We will interrogate this premise by means of printed materials and displays (visuals/photographs).
* Materials relating to Ko Nakajima held in the Keio University Art Center (KUAC) collection focus on photographs.
