Eternity in a Moment is a trilogy of photography books in which the Japanese photographer Mika Ninagawa seamlessly blends images of everyday urban life with diverse scenes of flora and fauna. This is the second volume in the trilogy which is released simultaneously.
Ninagawa is known for her vibrant photography and magical snapshots of everyday life. Her photos capture the impermanence of life and the potential for beauty in every moment, with each image not only telling a story but also embodying a world of its own. Colour, a cornerstone of Ninagawa’s work, plays a crucial role, with each hyper-vibrant, almost three-dimensional photograph springing from the page – as if Ninagawa wants to extract every imaginable nuance of colour from our world.
Mika Ninagawa is a photographer, film director and artist. The recipient of numerous photography awards, she has also directed five feature films, including Helter-Skelter (2012) and Diner (2019) and the Netflix original drama FOLLOWERS (2020).
