Yoko Ikeda has the extraordinary ability to see beauty in seemingly mundane objects and to elevate them to the rank of precious subjects. Ikeda plays with the shadows, colours, lines and textures she encounters while moving around and observing daily life. By means of her camera, she creates her own way of seeing and showing an outer world that one does not necessarily notice at first glance. In Ikeda's compositions, there is often no point of reference. Space is flattened and abstract, the place is ambiguous. She experiments with unusual viewpoints and focuses. Ikeda seeks contrasts of form and light and uses unexpected framings. The book pays tribute to this prolific work through a sequence of multiple plays of associations that could be described as musical, thus giving the book its title.
