In The Shadow of Time
Is a contemporary photography exhibition by David Capuano. Inspired by the classic, 陰翳礼讃 [In’Ei Raisan] by the legendary Junichiro Tanizaki, David explores the concept of Temporal Shadows fused with the Japanese aesthetic and philosophy of - Ma - The interpretable space that surrounds spaces of definition. Such as objects in the physical realm, time must also cast a flow of shadows, where in its past form it brings forth and forces the depth, motion and the stillness of the present. Darkness and shadows present themselves as entities of balance, reflecting themselves on the vast realms of existence.
Through ‘The Shadow of Time’ David reflects on the human journey and his personal journey of seeking light and balance. When in turn, if the patterns of shadow are the true depths of beauty, then maybe, to journey into the correct path one must wonder into darkness and trust it as a guide. Simply put, the inconvenience and unknowability of darkness is but only an invitation to opportunities and true freedom. David invites the viewer to release their notion of darkness and release themselves into the magic of the harmonizing balance of shadows.
