Summary:
Something floating in space, glimpsed through sliding doors, fireflies in summer ... Be beguiled by the poetry of Chika Ohgi, world-famous Japanese paper artist from Kyoto, who revels in the ambiguities created by her installations. With their frayed edges, their softness of texture and their organic forms, her vision is entrusted to the vagaries of daylight streaming through gallery windows, entrusted to the sensitivity of your perceptions.
