HENRO by Bastiaan Woudt
We are used to knowing Bastiaan Woudt for his sculptural, sharp black-and-white photography and its impeccable geometric elegance. Yet, there is a side to his research that moves on different frequencies—extraordinarily intimate and silent.
In 2024, the artist traveled the Shikoku Henro, one of Japan’s oldest Buddhist pilgrimages: 1,200 kilometers through temples and mountains, experienced without the intention of documenting, but with the sole desire to listen and simply be present.
The project HENRO is born from this mindset. It is not the depiction of a place, but a collection of subtle traces; images detached from documentary reality that resist explanation, carrying the quality of a dream or a memory.
A side project, deeply Japanese, that focuses on pure contemplation and reveals the most refined, visionary, and poetic soul of a great contemporary photographer.
Soon in Milan, Verona, Roma.
STAY TUNED!
