Hideo Anze’s “Stripe (50Hz)” was inspired by the shocking landscape of Tokyo in which the artist experienced after the Great East Japan Earthquake and its succeeding planned outage and electricity saving campaigns. By collecting images of fluorescent light produced by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) distributed at the commercial frequency of 50Hz (in comparison to 60Hz which is the frequency for Western Japan), Anze showcases the flicker phenomenon—usually acknowledged as an error caused by the interference of waves of light—as beautiful patterns of vertical stripes. Archiving regular occurrences on a daily basis, the series naturally becomes a documentation of an unforgettable memory.
