Ken Ohara (1942)

Synopsis

Ken Ohara's photographic series presents one-hour exposure portraits that redefine the identity of each subject. Traditional judgments about appearances are obscured by the hour-long blur, transforming soft outlines of heads and bodies into powerful silhouettes. These blurred images shift focus to the surrounding objects, providing context for the subjects' identities. Drawing a parallel with Meatyard, Ohara’s collection offers a wry and melancholic depiction of the artist's absence. The series explores themes of identity, perception, and presence through this distinctive approach, highlighting the transient nature of human presence and the lasting impact of an artist's vision.
