Photographs made between 1992 and 2011, ranging from street snapshots to portraits of children, strangers and cats, and an insect crawling on a toe. After years of creating and exhibiting works of a disquieting nature, Shohhei Nomura felt that this no longer seemed right; unable to settle, he decided on a change of pace and began going through an enormous pile of photographs he had tossed into an empty photographic paper box. Coming across a vast expanse of ocean whose surface reflected dazzling light, the brightest, most boundless vista he had ever photographed, he kept it despite earlier dissatisfaction, and as if exhorted by this one picture he chose other rather tranquil scenes of landscapes, children, cats and group portraits. Despite the diversity of subjects and the long time span, a unifying, peculiar eeriness runs through the pictures: image noise becomes the manifestation of something deeper, people's shapes are not clearly defined and their outlines unravel into darkness, and there is always a hint of otherworldliness, yet no terror or threat; the dense eeriness is tranquil in nature.
