Jun Shiraoka's Early Photography: Epiphanies of the Everyday
Jun Shiraoka's early photographs often depict indistinct exteriors—a street, a platform—seen through a fogged window where a hand has wiped a porthole-like opening. This gesture creates a window within a window, revealing both the outside and the materiality of transparency: glass, water, reflection, and gray light.
