Symphony presents more than a decade of plant photographs taken by Nobuo Iida in the parks of Tokyo. In contact with photography from a very young age, driven by the desire to capture the phenomena around him, he adopted his current style after the great earthquake of eastern Japan in 2011. The general feeling in Japan at that time was anxious and desperate, and a few days after wanting to overturn this dark mood, Iida went out into a park and was struck by the light reflecting on the plants - it was as if “many ‘suns’ were shining like fireworks or chandeliers”. To capture what he was witnessing, he began to use a technique he had used years before. By using the wrong lenses of his camera, he made the images brighter, revealing hidden particles of light “and melted plants and light together, integrating mystical nostalgia and joy”. He also often uses filters he has made himself, but Iida never alters his photographs or uses software to modify them. The resulting photographs are dazzling and transport us into an oneiric world; the lines are blurred, the colours are mingled, and they convey the beauty of nature and life.
