Work Details
Inkjet printing, photography
ed.1
The creation of this photography series begins from capturing a scene from a high location. Many things are captured; by further observing and magnifying them, the motif of a work becomes defined. Rather than having in advance, moments that I wish to photograph, the creative process is in looking back and imagining what has been captured. By being able so see several possibilities of what something ‘looks like it could be’, I believe that we can successfully distance ourselves from the credibility expected from photography.
Testimonial
These are works of photography that seem like paintings at a glance. In terms of technique, film photographs are digitalised, and a part of it is magnified – no major touch-ups are applied to the perspective or tone. His work seems to draw from the course of conventional pictorialism from the point of its painting-like nature, however, from the point of capturing cityscapes through a cool perspective, it could be a heritage of modernism photography. In that sense, I am thinking his work can be called new-pictorialism photography, a step further from the conventional pictorialism.
