THIRTY-SIX VIEWS OF MOUNT FUJI - RAOUL RIES GEB...

Mount Fuji is widely considered a majestic mountain-lauded  interpreted  surmounted. In the
early nineteenth century  Katsushika Hokusai honored it with thirty-six woodcuts. Working
according to Japanese tradition  he used symbols representing the seasons and depicted people
engaged in activities alluding to the future. The genre is known as Ukiyo-e and the images
describe a world in flux  in terms of both space and time. Inspired by this artistic concept 
the Luxembourgian artist Raoul Ries circumnavigated Fuji with his camera  capturing realistic
moments. The mighty mountain always bursts into the frame  like a leitmotif: sometimes sublime
sometimes hidden  as if playing a game with the viewer. At the end of the journey  not only
have readers become familiar with Fuji's various angles of view  but they've also been given a
good look at Japanese society  its connection with nature and its everyday life. In short  what
we find here is landscape photography with an idea and wit. Exhibition: Galerie Clairefontaine
Luxembourg  27.4.-27.5.2017
