THE JAPAN SERIES (Japan, 2010)
Each year, as part of the European Eyes on Japan project, a number of European photographers are invited to record their impression of the Land of the Rising Sun. Andreas Gefeller turned his camera on utility, to which transformers and tangles of wires are attached. By photographing the poles twice from below, and then assembling an image in which the pole itself has disappeared, he creates an abstract image that permits us to see something old and familiar in a whole new way.
