Tokyo / In a Silent Way
I often walk at night through the Ebisu, Hiroo, Shibuya and Roppongi districts, listening to Miles Davis's album In a Silent Way. I am fascinated by the quality of the paint on the pedestrian crossings. By focusing on this white paint, I add colour through the light trails of taxis, which a longer exposure reveals. That is how the series was born.
I keep adding to it with photos taken by day and by night, in different places and in every season. In the end, all these Tokyo districts are connected by this white line that cuts through the taxis along their whole length. The series was exhibited at the Art Space of the Belgian Embassy in Tokyo in February 2019.
