ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Over 2 years ( 2014 - 2016 ) Olaf Wipperfürth photographed regularly two traditional Japanese Sumo schools in Tokyo ( Chiganoura Beya + Takadawa beya ) during their early morning training session. Taking pictures opened the view on the visual language of sumo-culture of today vs. complexity of hyper-tech societies and the body itself, represented through unfamiliar, almost dance and trance like movements and emotions. The translation of the Japanese beya, means room or also stage, the captured movements and atmosphere in theses images are ment to locate more the theatrical qualities of contemporary dance then those of combat. Olaf Wipperfürth, mostly excludes in his photography the actual moment of wrestling. Instead he concentrates on the abstraction of mud imprints on the sumo bodies enhanced by paint interventions on some of the prints. The photographs avoid the codes of reportage and invites the viewer to more ephemeral perspectives.This project is part of a work cycle on trace, mouvement and absence, which are some of the most fundamental aspects in Olaf Wipperfürth’s work.
