EXPO ‘Mari Ishikawa – Parallel Worlds’ – Gesellschaft für Goldschmiedekunst e.V., Hanau (DE) – 17 Fevr.-6 Avril 2011

Where does a « Parallel World“ exist? In a different universe? Can one discover this world through time travel? Is it perhaps possible to see this world in a dream? Or does it only exist in one’s heart? The world we see is only a part of the entire reality which is composed of many worlds existing simultaneously, side by side. We can find “Parallel Worlds” whenever we open our eyes and hearts. They are always with us.

Parellel Worlds is accompanied with a new catalogue presenting the work by Mari Ishikawa.

« Gray
Light of full Moon : Sun = 1:400000
Photographs under moonlight require longer exposure, which is a time of silence.
In that way, I look at the fluidity of time in the darkness.
Under the moon light there are grey worlds.
But when I take a picture of such a grey world, they show me different pale colours, which I can’t see with my eyes.
It is mysterious. I look into the parallel world.« 

« Green
The shape of plants attracts me. Their perfection surprises me.
For whom and why are they so beautiful?
The green colour of plants is mysterious.
This is because we can’t dye anything green using plants, even though they are green by themselves.
Their colour can’t be preserved. Green is a colour of an illusion, and only where life is.
Under the moonlight they show me profound, various grey.
They are just there and gone soon.
I try to resist this vanishing and keep the memories. » (Mari Ishikawa)
