Masanaga Miyazato

People pass by hundreds of times every day in front of a familiar landscape.
I don't see anything there anymore.

For me, photography is an exploration of reconstructing the contrast in front of me and questioning the essential beauty hidden in the depths of everyday life and the universality of human existence.

Let's see the world.

Photography is no longer a medium for recording reality.
It is the very trace of recognition of how people thought about the world.
Cutting out the colors from the city and capturing the shades of natural light and shadows are the same for me — I'm just receiving the light that was really right in front of me.

It's not a record, it's not an expression. The “weight” that art harbors is the final proof that we are here.

Reconstruct the structure of recognition.

What I explore is the process of how photographs capture reality and how viewers reconstruct it. Moving away from the preconceived concept of everyday life and extracting the universal laws lurking there—that is my act of photography.
People will never be able to see the same scenery the same way again.
