In the summer of 1988, Taiji Matsue travelled to Andalusia, Spain, where he walked through the streets with his camera, capturing what he saw. The town he encountered was flooded with sunlight, revealing a place seemingly devoid of shadows. This journey played a pivotal role in the development of Matsue’s photographic style. Rather than capturing isolated, snapshot-like “points”, he worked with “planes”, making full use of a medium-format camera to record the varied features of a landscape he was seeing for the first time. The series occupies a crucial position in his body of work, bridging his debut series in the 1980s and the first well-acclaimed and representative series from the 1990s.
