Ari Salomon at KG+ 2026 “Burn Line”

03/18/2026/in Member News /by Ari Salomon

Ari Salomon will present his project Burn Line as a solo exhibition in Kyoto this spring as part of KG+, the official satellite program of KYOTOGRAPHIE.

The exhibition was selected for the 2nd GOJO+ Award, a juried recognition highlighting work that engages with the theme of fire—an idea deeply connected to the Gojo district’s history of ceramics production and cremation practices.

Burn Line is an ongoing body of work responding to the Los Angeles wildfires. The project combines photographs made in fire-affected landscapes with “pyrotypes”—images engraved into wood and transformed into charcoal through controlled burning. Many of the works originate from photographs shared by individuals who lost personal belongings in the fires, embedding personal histories directly into the material process.

The installation will be presented in the meditation room at Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto, where Salomon will construct a skeletal house structure to hold the work. This architectural framework echoes the domestic spaces referenced in the images, creating a dialogue between memory, loss, and physical transformation.

Together, the photographs and pyrotypes explore how images persist through destruction, positioning photography not only as a tool for documentation but as a medium shaped by elemental forces.
