Photographs made between 1996 and 2000 by inri (born 1973), before she began to work as the duo RongRong & inri, gathered under the single theme of love. The four series of Symposion are, in the curator Michiko Kasahara's words, all self-portraits of a young woman whether or not she appears in them, made in fin-de-siecle Tokyo after the bubble burst, in a mood of apocalypse, when she discovered the dance company H Art Chaos and its lead dancer Naoko Shirakawa and understood that if photography were art she would have to be its agent. A potted cactus kept since she began living alone in Tokyo, onto which she projects herself and whose yearly bloom she attends with her whole being; MAXIMAX, photography as an act that awakens the wildness of both photographed and photographer; Gray Zone, the unbearable lightness of beings seen in clones and the grey smoke exhaled by the original; and 1999 Tokyo, human presence distorted by the wavelength of mercury lamps.
