the eyes the ears (2005)
Rinko Kawauchi’s the eyes, the ears explores the quiet resonance between sight and sound through a series of low-contrasted photographs paired with minimalist, and impressionistic, Haiku-esque poetry. Capturing fragments of daily life—domestic scenes, nature, and the mundane—this 2005 photobook emphasizes Kawauchi’s signature attention to light and transient detail. The work reflects her ongoing interest in mortality and interconnectedness, offering an understated meditation on the profound within the ordinary.
