Lumière by Mikiya Takimoto is a poetic and philosophical exploration of vision, light, and our relationship to the world. Through his photographs, Takimoto delves into the mystery of perception: what makes us see when we open our eyes? His work, at the crossroads of art and science, recalls the spirit of mathematicians who, by stepping beyond conventional frameworks, open up new ways of seeing.

After focusing on primordial landscapes in Land Space (2013) -where he eliminated all traces of humanity to capture the Earth in an objective way- Mikiya Takimoto makes a shift in Lumière. He turns his lens toward delicate flowers, bathed in fleeting light and animated by the wind, revealing the unpredictable beauty of everyday life. These images, both earthly and cosmic, suggests that even a single petal holds an infinite universe, one that lies beyond the reach of science.

Mikiya Takimoto, fascinated by the universe since childhood, adopts a resolutely human perspective here, marveling at the fragility and complexity of life. His photographs, imbued with poetry and movement, remind us that seeing is a creative act, transforming our perception of the world.

With Lumière , Mikiya Takimoto invites us to rediscover the extraordinary within the ordinary: a breath of wind, a blooming flower, a dancing shadow – phenomena that defy logic and connect us to the immensity of the cosmos.
