Shiho Kano’s spare and elegant Landscape (1998), Still (1999), and Rocking Chair (2000) invest a similar minimal and temporal aesthetic with hints of personal relations and situations. Kano’s use of stillness and extended duration is sophisticated, though not exceptional in itself. It is her elaboration of different aspects and views of a particular space or situation that is very particular to her making.
