Harada Kazumasa – The Meeting of Two Eyes [Standard Edition]

My ongoing practice explores and reflects upon the concept of time through photography.

Across the earth, the sun rises in an unbroken chain, illuminating countless fragments of time. At times these fragments appear before us as events; at others, as perceptual experiences. Time exists in innumerable layers, intersecting and accumulating like sediment.

Perhaps it is only through photography that we are able to witness these overlapping strata of time—where past and present converge, and where the cross-sections of time become visible.

Over the past several years, I have photographed and edited this body of work continuously while moving between Berlin, Paris, Vienna, New York, Tokyo, and other cities. Drawing inspiration from the concept of Two-Eyed Seeing, I approached the editing process by weaving together two distinct perspectives on time: one grounded in events, the other in phenomena. Through this process, I sought to reconstruct time as both a material presence and a singular, binocular experience.
