KENJI HIRASAWA, CELEBRITY

About

KK Outlet is proud to announce the first solo show of Kenji Hirasawa. Celebrity is a series of thermographic photographs featuring waxwork celebrity figures and their adoring fans taken in the world famous Madame Tussauds. Whereas a normal camera functions on the basis of visible light, a thermographic camera measures infrared radiation and creates visual displays of heat. Hirasawa's collection captures the intensely coloured figures of smiling tourists, creating contrast between lifeless subjects with human beings as they swarm around a colourless space — the waxwork celebrity figures.
