Red Yūrei / Blue Yūrei

(2019)

According to traditional Japanese beliefs, all humans have a spirit called a reikon. Post mortem, if the proper rites have not been performed, or if they are influenced by powerful emotions such as a desire for revenge, love, jealousy,  hatred or sorrow, the reikon is thought to transform into a yūrei, which can then bridge the gap back to the physical world.  The emotion need not be particularly strong or driving, and even innocuous thoughts can cause a death to become disturbed. Once a  thought enters the mind of a dying person, their yūrei will come back to complete the action last thought of before returning to the cycle of reincarnation. Only then can the spirit rest.

“Defined lines separate the whirling worlds in these two works, allowing a mystical migration from light to dark.” - MATT TTAM

MATT TTAM is an American photographer whose pieces have been exhibited nationally and featured in publications such as USA Today, Playboy, and Esquire. He believes that the key to any good photograph is the story behind it. Within his art, he explores and expands the limits of classic photography. The relationship between photography and location plays an important role in all of TTAM’s work. Using various techniques (often movement and exposure time), objects in his pieces can appear abstract and bizarre. Thereby the object loses its function as a “memory aid”, blurring the definition and limitations of the medium. While TTAM provides clues to the location and subject matter of his compositions, he doesn't give additional details, preferring the viewer form their own narrative. “No matter where we come from, we all like to be taken on a journey inside our minds.” - MATT TTAM
