The minimum element to visually perceive space is dots and lines. Mathematical “points and lines” are also the starting point of science, and are conceptual in common with the number 0 and do not exist as substances. This is because, even if it looks like a dots or a line, it looks like a “point” becomes a circle and a line becomes a surface. On the other hand, our naked eyes can “find” dots and lines from anywhere in our daily lives, which appear at the intersection of two surfaces.This work is a landscape that gives perspective to the “corners” that are familiar to you but are not appreciated. For me, “dots and lines” are the origin of space and the starting point of beauty. Taken with a 35mm digital camera inside the Guggenheim Museum in New York. The resolution of the photography was technically broken down, and the particles which appeared were printed by using the chemical elements platinum and palladium using...
