" This is exhibition Erisugura photographic about 200 points from news photographs around the world, in the end has become a plan to patrol the more than 45 countries around the world.Photo lined up on a wall, from the ones about a ghastly shocking want to avert your eyes, that captures the unusual nature of the ecology, which in a unique perspective fastened unrealistic moment, abnormality of the subject and situations stand out things such as, none of the amount of information are so many, only those that can not be too street in a quick pace.
Commentary on the "now of this exhibition, in going all the news is the best technology coverage force on this planet, also, many of the works of at life taken over a photographer who is, see also this year a person of heart While there and will try "to shake the big, just in the street, every time, especially standing in front of a photograph taken of conflict and the battlefield of the site, in the somewhere in the world of Do I like this event is actually happening realize the realistic thing, it reminded the narrowness of his own insight. But it is obvious, any photographs is that actually happened at that location, moved anew mind to the fact that there is no fiction as a single, did I wish amazing, and only just overwhelmed.
Or scene and familiar face that I know are also reminded that it is also the case that tells us the things what many because one picture. For example, football players who had just finished the match in a game that the world is of interest, in the eyes of Puyol and Eto'o, only because of the experience the pressure of the unimaginably large stage, pregnant with majestic light indescribably It has been, was as if they copy even delight and despair in that earlier. Volley scene of Crouch as seen many times on television news, when viewed in again photograph, had been decorated in a strange moment, such as no longer know what is what at first glance is happening. That than the television of the video is more of a single photograph of the face comes through is overwhelming sense of realism, I feel like has been confronted by the underlying strength of the "news" was.

The physical, but is only one photo of, any photographs, not only the recording of mere events, has a powerful message and the transfer due to clearly photographer, as wild instincts as a "media" things had been represented without excess and deficiency. (Hence, but lack of the excess and deficiency has been beautifully expressed, but will from among the many news photo to winning such a large prize). From serious in what miserable to what the mind is calm in the unique, but the moment a wide indeed colorful and width to say that "Press Photo" in the word has been recorded, none of that is in the event that took place in this world there, I felt a kind of "Earth of pulsation" in that. This exhibition can meet the one to connect with the world through the eye is held up to August 5 (Sunday).
