Statement

dream

The view from the passenger seat of the car driven by my mother.
The road that I have always been accustomed to seeing was transformed into a new world by the black-and-white and negative inversion.The sky, which should have been clear, was suddenly enveloped in darkness, and what we could see was tinted white.
“yononakaha yumekautsutsuka utsutsutomo yumetomoshirazu aritenakereba” (Kokin Wakashū - 942)
A long time ago, someone wrote such a phrase.
We have no way of knowing whether the world we see is real or not.
I believe that “UNREAL/REAL" is an eternal theme for us.

Jury selection

The photographs are simply reveresed monochrome negatives and these landscapes captured from the car are very monotonous; nowhere certain, but somewhere.
