Courtyard XIII 1991

"Courtyard XIII" (1991) by Katsuhito Nishikawa is a minimalist black and white photograph featuring a simple white, circular form. The object, which resembles a band or ribbon, is positioned on a rough, textured concrete surface, highlighting the contrast in texture and emphasizing the form's smooth curves. The absence of color and detailed composition creates a sense of emptiness and quiet contemplation, typical of minimalist aesthetics. Nishikawa's work often explores the relationship between geometric forms and their surroundings, challenging viewers to perceive the essence of space and structure.
