Why Japanese Beauty Needs Shadow | In Praise of Shadow
"What did we lose when everything became bright? Through Tanizaki's In Praise of Shadows, a look at Japanese aesthetics, light and shadow, and the quiet beauty of dim spaces we're slowly forgetting.
I’m Satomi Takayama, a Japanese artist moving between Japan and London, and the creator of Before We Forget.
I make films about the ideas, skills and ways of seeing that can easily be overlooked in modern life. Through culture, craftsmanship, art, architecture, nature and everyday life, I consider what they can still teach us about beauty, time, attention and the way we live today." from the video introduction
