Norimichi Inoguchi’s latest project is called “Urushi”.
This old Japanese lacquerware is special for its deep, shiny luster in black or deep red. Urushi is the sap of the urushi or lacquer tree that is native to Japan. The sap of this tree contains a resin that polymerizes and becomes a very hard, durable, plastic-like substance when it is exposed to moisture and air. Norimichi Inoguchi shot the items with the same background color in a minimalistic way for maximizing the beauty of the shape and color.

Kourtney’s notes to her artwork:

“The Lady Dior series projects a sense of ambiguity and pending calamity. The images are framed in such a way that the viewer can only glimpse at the subjects in a voyeuristic way. I am quite fascinated with staging my own death. By orchestrating and controlling my own suicides I confront directly the primitive and ageless mystery which haunts humanity, sublimating the obsessive fear oft he inevitable. As fort he Lady Dior bag’s iconic status, it lent itself easily tot he idea of a woman obsessed by the idea of keeping her most precious worldly possession with her, even in death.“
