The first photobook by Lily Night, born in 1988 in Harbin, China, and living in Tokyo: the title joins abstract and obscura, a dark box that is the origin of her thinking and making. It grows out of photographs taken during a three-day visit by her parents from China to the apartment where she lived alone in Tokyo. A body that enters a space, the act that opens the body as a space, the images that arise from that act: they make us sense nodes of memory that have left the story of the family behind, and time folding in on itself, an epic without a story. The book also holds the paradox of nesting, a spatial viewpoint that tries to receive what lies unseen outside the frame, and proposes a new dark box of photography that looks at individual life and society together.
