Text of the photographer Pepe Navarro for the series “Asia on paper” :
Rice… Algae grow thick ribbons of striped reflection on water. White… a crane moves a wing, sensed the onset of winter. Bamboo… Rusty dim light extends in bright sun seekers threads. Water… There souled serpent heads floating in the pond doubt. Green… memories of sinuous dragons climbing walls for once, down stairs and lost. Red… an explosion of fruit sour mouth full of thought : two steps beyond, red was only blood. Fish… the owner of the land and sky goldfish observed moving between her legs. Amarillo… in the darkest corner of a pagoda child is sleeping the moon. Black… The painter had a dream : a hand grabs the tail of a fish, the river is giving birth to a thousand tongues wire, the fish is dead.
