Taiyo Onorato / Nico Krebs - Light of Other Days, Kodoji Press, 2013, Baden, Switzerland
Softcover with flaps. Edited by Hilar Stadler, essay by Stanislaw Lem, English.
Light of Other Days carries a clear photographic style, rooted in the rich aesthetic of the black and white positive paper. The 20 x 24 cm sheets are placed directly in the back of a large camera and each unique image has an exposure time of at least one minute. While the artists recognise the sensuous presence of this recently re-issued printing paper (released to them during the manufacturer’s research and development stage) the value of using a revivalist analogue process at a loaded moment in photographic culture is not the dominant statement here. The photographic paper is better thought of as an idiosyncratic scribe of events that Onorato and Krebs set up in their studio. The handcrafted or found objects and the quasi-phenomenological experiments depicted in the long-exposures define their own narratives, just as novelists sometimes describe the alchemic process through which a character develops its own journey, independent of the active orchestration of the author. (Charlotte Cotton, Photoworks magazine issue 18.)
