Tokyo Rumando — Orphée
Tokyo Rumando

Orphée

Tokyo Rumando's *Orphée* is a polyptych comprised of twenty gelatin silver prints, each flush-mounted, creating a fragmented yet cohesive visual narrative. The work draws on the mythological figure of Orpheus, channeling themes of longing, loss, and the boundary between life and death through Rumando's signature dark, intimate aesthetic. The silver print medium lends the series a luminous, dreamlike quality that deepens the emotional resonance of the mythological subject matter.
