7. Hi-Nikki (Non-Diary Diary) (From an ongoing project)
The digital camera works presented as a slideshow in this section are extracted from a series that was featured in a project for Fondation Cartier in Paris in 2014, and still continues on a subscription website. The title of the series, referring to how the photos are “less a diary, more a transcript of time,” also relates to the way that digital photography is “non-photography photography,” thereby encapsulating Araki’s paradoxical and rather detached approach to the digital medium.
