The photographs are part from Rinko Kawauchi's series entitled "Utatane" (2001). "Utatane" is a Japanese word that defines a state between wakefulness and sleep – dozing perhaps. They demonstrate the concentrated intentness with which Rinko Kawauchi is able to heed what she calls "the little voices that have been whispering to her since childhood".
These are the source upon which she draws, the intimate origin of a world described here according to a highly personal aesthetic: Utatane re-creates a fragmentary and fleeting world in which every detail relates to notions of birth, life, death and the passage of time.
