The internal scar
"The eye was in the tomb and was looking..." Victor Hugo
Can one photograph what is missing?
Even more difficult, can one from one's own story, express in an image what didn't take place?
Can what didn't take place never have a place?
Can one photograph what happened in a past that has not passed?
Oddly, 'yes', say these images, silently. For the eye naturally turned towards the outside world, only seems to be here to capture glimpses of the eternal present and witness another vision - an inner vision, buried in the past of the child we were, kept forever a prisoner of his eyes. This eye is the bridge that links the past and the present, the pain and the remission of a relentless wound.
And so a dialogue begins, not only between ourselves (the one we are and the one we will never be), but also we, the audience, ache to share a secret.
While some photographers have had the mad ambition to photograph the mind, Miki Nitadori show us the photographs that are like many stitches.
