Hiroshi Takizawa’s photographs are the result of a complex process in which the relationship between object, material, image, and their spatial qualities are probed. His series Fingerprinted Objects shows items made from clay that stand out sharply against a dark background yet have an indefinable presence themselves—an amorphous lump without recognizable objecthood steeped in colorful light whose source is equally undetectable.
