Künstlerbuch mit Fotografien von Sylvie Tubiana. Mit 11 Haiku von Midorikawa Masumi und dem Essay 'The Snow's Light' von Daniel Keene. Das Buch beinhaltet zwei Fotoserien der französischen Künstlerin Sylvie Tubiana, die während eines Aufenthaltes in Japan entstanden sind. Dazu die Künstlerin in ihrem Vorwort: „In traditional Japanese architecture, my attention was drawn to several elements: the variety of the materials, the presence of the ground in everyday gestures and attitudes, the use of sliding panels and their openness towards nature. Inner space extends naturally towards the exterior. Thus I created a first series entitled "Mémoire secrète" (Secret Memory).“ Und weiter: „Apart from Japanese architecture, the relationship which the Japanese have with their baths and their thermal springs (onsen) also fed into my work. A series of photographs was specifically carried out in this so particular atmosphere of relaxation, heat and steam; I quite naturally called it "Onsen".“ Sylvie Tubiana lebt und arbeitet in La Rochelle, Frankreich.
