mystic water/
geothermal is a series of 27 photographs
that I took during my stay in Iceland as an Artist in Residence
in April 2009. They are photographed at "Leirhnjúkur geothermal"
and "Mývatn Nature Baths" adjacent to the geothermal power plants
located around 65°N. At that time I was bathing in the warm water
where the smell of sulfur shrouded me, my body was smoothly wrapped
by the water, it was bliss. Then I understood deeply the natural
principles such as relations between geothermal heat and warm water
and between water and wind, because I was feeling them through my
body and senses. It was also an experience that I was attracted
to in a fantastical sense. I photographed the scene with a camera
and as a result some photographic images of light were created.
In those pictures, the nature principle of the place was taken but
also I think they were proof of the fantastical senses that I perceived
there. I was impressed by that phenomenon and I wanted to express
it on this work.
