Single Slit Experiment
In the beginning of the 19th Century, the British physicist Thomas Young conducted the the famous “double-slit experiment”.
Young’s experiment consisted of directing light through two parallel slits to observe the resulting diffraction patterns.
What I had in the forefront of my mind throughout the production of this work was this experiment by Young. I wished to investigate the behavior of light passing through slits from an aesthetic standpoint.
The camera used for the shooting was an ordinary film camera, but instead of using a lens an 0.2mm slit was prepared using two razor blades.
Although the selected motif is a simple cluster of highrise buildings in Tokyo, the resulting light collected through the slit vertically elongates all subjects and reduces even such ordinary scenery to an abstract structure.
