今シリーズは従来のコンセプト“Seeing Motion in Fixed Images”(動きのない所に動きを見る)を引き継ぎ、舞台はそのコンセプトの源である日本で実践しているものです。日本の代表的象徴である富士山をはじめとして私たち日本人が既に慣れ親しんでいるであろう風景をあえて選び、コンセプトに忠実に再現しています。古典であり最新の日本がそこにあります。また作品は8x10カメラを用いた長時間撮影から成り、ご好評の蓄光材による“夜間撮影の疑似体験視”ができる仕様となっています。普段私たちが気付くことなく麻痺してしまった感覚“日本の独自性なるもののかたち”を作品を通じて感じていただければと思います。#script tag escaped#flgDispRecommend=false;#script tag escaped#
This series is a continuation of the Records project, realized in the US and now brought back to a Japanese setting, from where the concept originated. The project has been an exercise in discovering the form of Japanese Aesthetics: "Seeing Motion in Fixed Images". Choosing landscapes that are symbolic of Japan and very special to the Japanese people, such as the image of Mt Fuji, I have made a faithful recreation of the series" concept and then tried to bring out the beauty that people have come to forget about. In these images you can find both a classical and a most contemporary vision of Japan. I take these photographs using super long exposures under moonlight, on an 8x10 camera. As a result, when you look at my works, you are "seeing motion in fixed images" at the same time. There are no double exposures or digital retouches.Furthermore the works are installed with phosphorescent pigment behind them. The luminous material brings the photographs even closer to the actual, original setting of the moonlit night. I hope that through these works, people will reconnect with their inner appreciation of the phenomena that give Japan its distinctiveness.
