My work was featured in a special article “21st Century Photography” in the August 17th issue of the magazine “Pen”.
This special feature looks back at contemporary photography by selecting one work for each year from the vast amount of photographic works published by photographers around the world in the first 20 years of the 21st century.
It was supervised by Yuki Kajikawa, curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Kyoto.
I know better than anyone else that it is quite out of place for me to be included in such a distinguished group of people, starting with Robert Frank, Sebastião Salgado, Nick Brandt, Thomas Ruf, Shomei Tomatsu, Nobuyoshi Araki, Daido Moriyama, and Kikuji Kawada, but I would like to introduce my work “The Absence of Two” in 2017. I know better than anyone else that it is quite out of place for me to be included in such a distinguished group.
In addition to this feature, there are also features on news photography, fashion photography, and photo books, making this a book full of photography. Please take a look.
