Osaka-based artist Nobuhiro Nakanishi’s ‘Layer Drawings‘ capture the accumulation of time as a sculpture. Initiated in 2004, the series consists of photographs printed on transparent film and assembled in sequence that allows “viewers to experience the ephemerality of time and make their perception expand to the gap in between each moment.” In the words of the artist, the interplay between positive and negative space.” creates a certain kind of notion that reveals a thin boundary between this side and other side, and also expresses illusion and reality are endlessly turning around in this world.”
