Fires In the North
Photographs of the
Aurora Borealis by Yuichi Takasaka

Attendance
We
are pleased to present returning photographer
Yuichi Takasaka’s second exhibition, Fires
In the North, at Art Beatus (Vancouver). Stunning
and ethereal, Takasaka's photographs of the
Aurora Borealis capture the sublime beauty of
these mysterious visitors of the north.
Although the northern lights
has been studied and can now be explained in
scientific terms – produced by photons released
from charged nitrogen and oxygen atoms originating
from solar wind that have been directed toward
Earth’s poles via Earth’s magnetic field – one
cannot escape the feeling of awe that is inspired
by this phenomenon. According to Takasaka, “My
love of colours in nature led me to my love affair
with the Aurora Borealis…These Lights became a
part of my life.
”Sublime
is the name given to what is absolutely great
… what is beyond all comparison great.¹
In the visual arts, the
idea of the sublime has traditionally been
used to describe landscape or seascape
paintings such as those by Casper David
Friedrich or J.M.W. Turner. Although
Takasaka’s photographs take place in the
northern Canadian landscape, the predominant
sublime element here is not the vast and
remote arctic landscape but it is the vibrant,
elusive and ghostly Aurora Borealis that
invokes feelings of awe, greatness and
boundlessness in these images.Born in
1968 in Japan, Yuichi Takasaka immigrated to
Canada in his teens when his interest in
photography began to develop. He
settled in Yellowknife in the Northwest
Territories for seven years before moving to
Lumby, British Columbia where he currently
resides. He still returns every
year to Yellowknife to lead photographic
tours where he continues to photograph his
beloved Aurora Borealis.
Takasaka has exhibited
his beautiful and technically proficient
photographs around the world and his work
has appeared in various magazines,
newspapers, books, textbooks, films, CD-ROMs
and DVDs, and internet websites including
NASA and National Geographic. In
2007, Takasaka was also the recipient of the
Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award from
BBC Wildlife Magazine.
