For YAMAGUCHI Keitaro, the lens is not a window through which to view the outside world, but rather just the right projection on which to place his left hand when pressing the shutter. IGUCHI Naoto has been performing the shocking act of copying his own face on a copy machine set to two colors for over 20 years. The photographs with memories change like decayed old photographs because SUGIURA Atsushi touches them with deep affection. NAKATA Keiyo, who has been holding a camera in his hand since childhood to capture everyday life, records his own fashion on a daily basis. YONEDA Yuji’s photographs reflect his point of view in his daily life, and the series of processes that begin with the shooting of the photographs are an important means of communication with others.
This exhibition, titled “art space co-jin + picture = “Co-pic”” introduces the unique and diverse worlds created through the activities of the above five photographers. The exhibition will present a view that cannot be fully grasped within the framework of “expression” or “artwork.
Finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the artists, their relatives, institutions, and related parties for their cooperation in this exhibition.
