Marine Layer by Olivier Desmet

Photographer Olivier Desmet hopes to convey the notion of Mono no Aware (a Japanese concept used to describe the beautiful transience of all things) through his black & white photography.

In 2021, Olivier shifted his focus away from urban subjects, hoping to explore a different style of image-making. Using medium-format cameras, he produced a series of meditative images of nature and still life in the San Francisco Bay Area. A selection of photographs from the resulting project, Marine Layer, is presented here.

The exhibition coincides with the release of a book on this project.
