Tempusgraph 24 Solar Terms: Colors of Time
Galerie GEEK/ART is pleased to present “Tempusgraph 24 Solar Terms: Colors of Time” — an exhibition by photographer and artist Ryosuke Toyama, on view from July 19 (Sat) to August 11 (Mon, Public Holiday), 2025 at Galerie GEEK/ART.
This exhibition marks the first full presentation of Toyama’s latest series, “24 Solar Terms”, featuring 29 works created using his original photographic technique, Tempusgraph. Developed around the ancient Japanese calendar of the 24 Solar Terms, the series gently traces the subtle transitions of the seasons—rendering the passage of time as something visible through light. Under the theme “The Colors of Time”, each work becomes a quiet meditation on transience, presence, and the quiet rhythms of the natural world. This presentation is made possible with the generous support of Atelier Châtaigne.
Running in parallel, a companion exhibition, “Tempusgraph: Expanding the Horizon of Photography”, will be held at Tojo Photo Studio. This complementary show offers an intimate look into the creative process behind the works, illuminating the mechanisms and philosophy of the Tempusgraph technique—a method that does not capture a single moment, but rather records the slow accumulation of light over time. Visitors are invited to explore not only the completed pieces, but also the ideas, experiments, and processes that shape them—an opportunity to reflect on photography’s origins while contemplating its evolving possibilities.
Artist’s Statement — Ryosuke Toyama
"The optical phenomenon behind Tempusgraph has long existed—traced back to the days when artists and thinkers observed light through the camera obscura. Yet no one ever gave it meaning. Perhaps the times did not ask for it. Now, as photography enters an era shaped by AI and profound change, I turn once again to the simple yet mysterious behavior of light—seeking to rediscover what photography is, and imagine what it can become."
