Rinko Kawauchi - Inhabiting Light - Dialogue on the Edge of the Everyday World

This book is a compilation of exchanges. It begins with photographer Rinko Kawauchi responding to a piece written by philosopher Masatake Shinohara, after which he writes something in response to her photograph. The texts are written as a series of indirect responses to the images - not as commentary on them. According to Shinohara, it was important to adjust the feeling to the reality of the place from which the photograph emerges, to understand it in terms of how it was taken and generated, and the experience behind how it came into existence. Together they explore the dimension that lies hidden behind the surface of the everyday world in which we ordinarily live.
