Christian Mietus: “The Japanese Photography is Covered in Dust
The Japanese Photography is Covered in Dust
by Christian Mietus

Japanese photography in black and white— faceless and abstract. I dig in a shroud of dust on the lusterless frame uncovering green-gold sides. My reflection mirrored as if taxidermy or in fire.
An anonymous stranger unfurls shabby eyes and voice. Unwrapping young face like twine through photograph. A swirling mushroom-like torso returns me to childhood.
Above, Foreign lettering is crossed out— guillotined. The dense black oil is spillage.
Clocks-stopped. Near shadows of umbrellas, golden dust, many rocks, and an invisible photographer.
