Heliography 02

A black-and-white composition split by a sharp diagonal line running from the upper right to lower center, dividing the image into a nearly solid black upper-left field and a streaked, softly lit lower-right area. A horizontal band of bright, elongated white light flares crosses the left portion of the frame, while fine diagonal striations of gray and white run through the bottom right corner. Hiroshi Yamazaki, *Heliography 02*, 1978, pigment print.
