Antony Cairns - MaViCa: Tokyo Blue - 2024

MaViCa: Tokyo Blue brings together 16 images from the artist's ongoing series using the Sony MaViCa FD200 camera. The large format book has been designed to function as a book normally would, but also shape-shifts as an artwork; dismantling to a series of 16 individual images that can be removed from the museum grade Mylar, and displayed on walls. "Through the lens of the Sony MaViCa FD200, a relic of the digital dawn, the urban night is transformed into something both haunting and electric. These are not places we know but places we’ve dreamed: cityscapes that dissolve into light and shadow, their forms abstracted into the kind of fractured visions that J.G. Ballard might have conjured—a realm where concrete and circuitry merge, and the city itself becomes an organism, feeding on its own endless reflections. The MaViCa, with its inbuilt solarized effect, translates the metropolis into a shimmering grid, a cybernetic dream of glass and neon....This is not photography but transmission, a dialogue between past and present, analogue ghosts speaking through digital forms. The lo- fi distortions evoke a nostalgia for futures that never arrived, where cities were imagined as vast networks, luminous and alien. In these nocturnal visions, the urban landscape unravels into an otherworldly geometry, its boundaries blurred and dissolved." Edition of 35 Sixteen photographs created using a MaViCa FD200 Industrial inket prints, housed in museum-grade Mylar
