Until present my "photon counting series" has expressed light itself at an elementary particle level. This time, my work will consider the relationship of substance in landscape we see and the light which that substance reflects, stimulating our retina. Here that light is captured as a moving image. By masking the landscape, the presence of light medium is highlighted above substance.
