Shibuya culture PROJECT

- First of all, please tell us your impressions of the work.

Once upon a time, "Deja = Vue" It had been the issuer of the photo magazine that, because the mate (Mr. Iizawa Kotaro) is the photo critic, is in the photo there is a very friendly. In particular, like the slide show, previously made to own friends and two people because "Japan optical lantern Promotion Association", as had been the slide presentation with the help of the venue of the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. Soredakeni to hear that "photo movie", we come upon viewing an image of a freely slide show I watched until now, immediately, this movie is also while using the expression techniques such as slide show, with a solid story I understand that it is a work close to the "movie". In Mikio Shuto's photos taken of, shot thinner san Sakuchu is a sign of Yachaika in finger was left to mind. However, by devising the words of a little more narration, or would not it was good also to increase the portion to think.

- Either from the story, it has received what message.

It arrived follow the village men deep in the mountains of tired to city life, be healed by strange women - is a story that, in the modern Japanese than empathy for people is large. Society Among the sense of stagnation drifts, every day, and are sending life to be chased by the numbers, resulting in tired and stressed. Although referred to as no longer feel beautiful flowers and suffer from depression, it previously filled with commercials in the city, always because whether those artificial there is jump to the eye in response, look to the nature of beauty I have forgotten such thing. Like the men of Sakuchu, to be open wander in a location far from the day-to-day, people who are potentially seeking would surely many. After watching this movie, Once you feel like looking up at the starry sky, it might be proof that there is a kind of desire (laughs). Anyway not poised as difficult a photo movie, common than is good to visit, like watching movies.

- Occasionally san, the stress in everyday life, how do you deal with.

I from 15 years ago, once a week, has continued the activities of "the words of TOKI" to deliver to the reader to print the "words" in the postcard. For example, or "because there is no memory to enjoy any number of times," "dullness of strength," "things go out together and tears". This activity itself is great, but fun is, too much accumulation of stress like men of "Yachaika", it may not put out spinning is just words. On one occasion, a source of stress for the their own, money and time, that I realized that it can be chased by the numbers. Because I had to run a previously publisher, I can reasonably be such work, and biased to over there, or to observe the surroundings, it is to or thought the word difficult. Differences in brains of the part to be sure use, you would not be able to switch. From is aware that way, we are working to live not too busy in the numbers.

- Idea of ​​the work, from where will be born.

Routinely observed, or will be considered. Photographer in conjunction with the to have a camera in the next to the skin, while walking on the road, also while looked around at a coffee shop, and take notes always think of something. It is also often keep thinking that anxious in their own. For example, until a little while ago, for "when the walk up the escalator in the stop, is why there is a sense of discomfort", I was thinking much (laughs). In addition, "as soon as looking object is found, about to forget the feeling of while you are looking for a Kero'" or, when the people who rode in the "elevator anyone noticed that you do not press the destination floor of the button about the sense of "or (laughs). On a daily basis, everyone I have to or I feel somehow not in words. To be output as "words" to analyze the kind of event, I feel really joy. Looking back, I was in elementary school is, "I embarrassed that's underwear, Why What is unabashedly that it swimsuits?" And the like, I was thinking alone. From a long time ago, it might have had that kind of stuff (laughs).
