Product Description
I happen to have night vision that is much sharper than most people. Even in the deepest darkness, where most people usually strain their eyes to see, I see effortlessly. But there is some darkness that even I cannot manage to see in. And just as others are drawn to the undiscovered universe, I am drawn to the unseen darkness, and move forward towards it. Clipping out the faintest light that crosses my path along the way, I simply let myself be drawn forward, anticipating what lurks in the darkness ahead. (from the postscript) Resolutely, with the distinctive flavor of Japan lingering, the atmosphere of an uncanny darkness seeps into view. The photographer is an individual possessed of a curious constitution and concept, and with the skill and talent to give shape to that expression. As I look upon these photographs, I experience a shiver of fear. ―――― Daido Moriyama(photographer) It appears that another supernova newcomer has arrived. But this time, tinting everything in hues of darkness, rather than emitting the brilliant light of day, As if with a powerful pull into a black hole. Noteworthy also is a unique sense of ornamentation that might be called a contemporary version of the Rinpa school. So young, born in 1992! I feel sure we will be keeping close watch, to see what comes next. ―――― Kotaro Iizawa(photography critic)
