Japan, the Ambiguous, and Myself, is the current exhibition of the Lacen Galerie in Paris.

Tokyo set by David Balhuizen: This series of photos addresses the difficult task for Japan of reconstructing itself on its cultural and historical roots whilst Western influences are more deeply felt. Far from the typical images of a high-tech society or a traditional Japan, David Balhuizen’s rigorist framework and earth-toned perspectives exacerbate the loss of an identifying trait. Colour collapses the space between isolated individuals in anonymous universes. The work with its tranquil and conscientious solitude provides keys to understanding these Japanese paradoxes.

Far from the typical images of a high-tech or, on the other hand, bucolic Japan, David Balhuizen’s photographs exacerbate the loss of an identifying trait. Color collapses the space between isolated individuals in anonymous universes.
