Take Ninagawa (Azabujuban)
The realm of Kita’s works – scenes based on photographs she shoots herself that you almost want to call ‘unknown places you feel you’ve seen before’ – develops in the form large-scale charcoals and watercolors, along with oil paintings. Motifs of migrating birds quietly find their way into scenes of rugged mountains and waterfalls born from a mixture of real landscapes and of nature unfolding behind young people sitting in comfortable, contemporary (art gallery?) interiors.
Like its curious title, Almost Holiday conjures up an atmosphere nostalgic yet unfamiliar.
