Japanese artist Nobuhiro Nakanishi creates sculptural works that attempt to preserve a singular moment in the natural world, capturing deeply pigmented sunsets and brightly-lit forests in a series hes titled Layer Drawings. To produce the three-dimensional installations, Nakanishi first photographs an environment over a period of time. He then mounts selected images from his documentation on panels of acrylic in chronological order, allowing slight variation from frame to frame.
We are all subject to the passing of time, yet each of us feels and perceives it in our own way, says Nakaniski, Time itself has no shape or boundary and cannot be fixed or grasped. When we look at the photographs in these sculptures, we attempt to fill in the gaps between the individual images. We draw from our physical experiences to fill in missing time and space, both ephemeral and vague. In this series, I attempt to depict time and space as sensations shared by both viewer and artist.
Nakaniski is represented by Yukimo Chiba Associates in Tokyo. You can see more of his layered works on his website.

It is this process of reproducing temporality as a three dimensional object that highlights the provocative contradiction between these solid sculptural objects and the transitory moments they represent. In Light of the Sunrise 2, Nakanishi photographs a sunrise from a fixed point of view, rendering the delicate dance between the rays of the sun and the steady movement of clouds through a series of transparent pictorial surfaces
