Still lives, landscapes, staged images of children and architectural photography.
Theature of Dunes, 1945-1951
Return to the Dunes, 1980s-1990s
Inside the region to where he was born, the dunes of Tottori was the setting for his most well-known works. Arranging characters/actors/members of his family in the landscape, as if a theatre director, creating a dream-like scene amongst the baron landscape. The images result in a sombre composition, yet with a hint of humour.
These images are much alike to what I visualise my own ideas to be, yet I aim to draw attention to object in the stead of people. Structure and meaning of its structure is my focus, and the baron/empty landscape settings, I believe, help draw attention to the objects at hand. Or rather, take its meaning away.
