Murmuration presents a Photoworks commission by acclaimed Japanese photographer Rinko Kawauchi (b 1972, Shiga, Japan), made for the Brighton Photo Biennial 2010: New Documents, curated by Martin Parr. Renowned for photographs that capture the beauty of the everyday, Rinko Kawauchi gained international acclaim for her photography books Utatane, Hanabi and Hanako. Invited to make new work about Brighton, Kawauchi was immediately drawn to the spectacle of flocking starlings at Brighton Pier. Here during the winter months at dusk, the birds gather in tens of thousands, wheeling around to create a mesmerizing cloud called a murmuration. Kawauchi is fascinated by the ephemeral nature of this phenomenon and, continuing with the theme of the flock, she has also trailed groups of people through the city.

<p>Carps, clouds, a curtain, a tire, fried eggs, a grandfather, a butterfly. These are the  details of the everyday life that are too easily missed. Seen through the lens of Kawauchis camera however, the ordinary shines with patterns of light; even an ant transforms into a statement of style. This thoughtful debut photo book won awards for its graceful contemplation of mortality (no text in book).</p>

Brazil, a country of vast wealth and poverty, diverse cultures, rich and diverse nature and wildlife, festivals and an all encompassing rhythm and chaos of life was the site of Kawauchis most recent project after a two year break. The glossy colour photographs collected in this travelogue demonstrate, aside from the photographers hallmark eye for detail, a maturing vision and sensitivity that may deservedly be called monumental.
