Silence is the first instalment of a long-planned trilogy by Ayaco Nakamura, creator of the loveable character 'Usalyman'. We all come into the world naked and our death is inevitable, and this view of life and death runs through the trilogy 'Silence', 'Birth' and 'Daylight'. Animal bones once alive and breathing now seated in a museum, trees reflected and swaying on the night water, a bouquet in close-up, a school of sardines in an aquarium and the light glimpsed beyond them: 'Silence' focuses on a world of darkness where sound seems to vanish, photographing honestly what is seen in that darkness.
