After her many visits to Provence over the past two years, Japanese artist Rieko Tamura has produced this series of photographs at Château La Coste in March 2019. With his silver lens, Tamura has managed to capture the light and poetic atmosphere of Provence. The man likes to work with nature, which he considers an immeasurable source of inspiration and beauty, while Tamura's lens captures what she calls "the unconsciousness of Man that vibrates in close relationship with nature and what surrounds him". In other works, nature is sufficient in itself. The artist's personal touch comes from his choice of colour and material. Indeed, her images are printed on black and white film through a long exposure, then printed on Baryta paper. She seeks above all to share her vision, not simply of what is. This is why she talks about "drawing" her photographs with silver pigments and "painting" her universe.

Rieko Tamura grew up in Hokkaido, an island known for its harsh climate and many of her works seem to confront the power of nature with a hint of fear and the sublime. Her images of forests, snow covered landscapes and the sea have been praised for their sensibility and contemplative nature. Rieko Tamura has lived and worked in Paris since 2011.

Artwork
This series of photographs by Japanese artist Rieko Tamura were taken at Chateau La Coste in March 2019 following a number of visits over the past two years. Using a particular silver film camera, a technique that she has been exploring for 19 years, and photographing mostly in the soft light of dusk or dawn, Tamura has captured the provencal light and poetic moments across the property. The human intervention amidst the beauty of nature is seen in some instances through works of art, or simply in the geometry of the vineyards. In this way, Tamura visualises “the unconscious dimension of human life resonating with the nature that surrounds it.” In other images, nature stands alone. Greater detail is achieved through the use of Bartya paper, which involves a slow washing and drying process. In her own words, Tamura concentrates at the level of fine grain detail, “controlling every part of the photographic process from the outdoors to the dark room, it is as if I am "drawing" these photographs in black and white, or "painting" a universe that I can see. “
