企画展『Tokyo Dialogue 2022』

概要 / Overview

T3 PHOTO FESTIVAL TOKYOが、東京・京橋に120年余り本社を構える戸田建設株式会社と共同で、2022-24年の3年間にかけて実施するプロジェクトです。このプロジェクトでは、毎年、写真家と書き手がペアとなり、京橋を舞台に「写真」と「言葉」で紡ぎだす“対話”を通して、変わりゆく都市の姿を描き出します。本年は、写真家が撮った写真作品に対して、書き手が言葉で応答し両者がコラボレーションした作品を屋外に展示するとともに、作品集を制作・発表します。目に見えない土地の歴史、あるいは変わりつつある街や人々の風景など、様々な観点から都市の姿を自由に解釈し捉えた作家たちの作品を通じて、未来に残る「東京」のドキュメントになればと考えています。
Tokyo Dialogue 2022 is part of a project jointly organized by the T3 Photo Festival Tokyo Executive Committee and Toda Corporation for the three years from 2020 to 2024. Toda Corporation has been headquartered in the Kyobashi area of Tokyo for just over 120 years. For this project, photographers and writers pair up to create documentary works depicting the changing cityscapes in Kyobashi through “dialogues” they weave with photographs and words.
Works of their collaboration—poems were written to accompany the photographic works—are exhibited outdoors, and a collection of the works is also published. We trust they will serve as a record of Tokyo for the future through the works of the artists who freely interpreted and captured cityscapes from various viewpoints, including the history of the land that is no longer visible and the changing landscape of the city and its people.

TAMI Go (photographer) × HOMURA Hiroshi (Waka Poet)

京橋の歴史とは、すなわち皇居を中心とした、東京の水路の歴史でもある。今では高速道路下に埋め立てられ、目にすることは叶わなくなったが、東京という街はその水路無くして発展はなかった。目に見えるものしか写らない写真というメディウムで、かつての東京を、なんて自分にはあまりにもロマンチックがすぎる。それでも、かつて、この水辺から、活気と共に生活があった頃の人たちが見上げた空のことを思う。2022年の暑かった東京の夏の記録。（伊丹豪）

ビルの合間にぽっかり空いた巨大な穴の中では、多くの人が集まって地下室の床と壁を作ってた。箱の中に箱を入れて、重ねて固めて分解して取り出す。箱の人々は地上に出た後も違う箱で休憩して、また違う地下の箱で食事をする。その日常には、箱の秩序に最適化した身体と、視界が非常に狭まっているが故に現れる鮮やかな色彩があった。建設現場、現場事務所、みなさんの行きつけの中華料理屋などを撮影。それらの写真をプロジェクション、切り絵の手法を用いながら、現場のごみと旧社屋の外壁のタイルも加えてデジタルコラージュにした。（清水裕貴）

現場にお伺いした際に、地下部分の構造をみていると、年季の入ったコンクリート部分が残っていることに気がつきました。職員の方に質問すると、「旧戸田ビルの基礎部分を、新ビルに活用する」とのお話。根こそぎ総取り替えするのではなく、表面からは見えないところで、新と旧が同居していることに惹かれました。そこから、素材や距離、そして時間のレイヤーを写真で見せられないかと考えました。ビル街である京橋にはさまざまな表情の窓があり、窓の写り込みによるレイヤーを歴史のレイヤーに見立てて、制作を進めました。（木村和平）

Introduction

Tokyo Dialogue 2022–2024 represents an attempt to preserve records of the town and people of Kyobashi. Using “dialogues” as the theme, the aim is to obtain unique, living records based on an organic view of the town.

In Tokyo Dialogue 2022,Go Itami focuses on the history of the Kyobashi River, a waterway that no longer exists today. He seeks to capture the presence of the river in the town from three vantage points: the water surface, streets, and a bird’s eye view. Going back and forth between the present and the past, Itami raises questions about seeing through the river that no longer exists. In response to those photographs, tanka poet Hiroshi Homura writes poems that bridge the gaps in time and space from the Edo period to the present. His poems are interspersed with elements that are part of the town, including the moon depicted in ukiyo-e prints, the glitter and fragrances of the river, an expressway, and skyscrapers. These elements carry a sense of time that extends through the past, present, and future while serving to stimulate our imagination and memories. Readers can thus feel the presence as well as hints of things that are not captured in the photographs.

Yuki Shimizu focuses on the construction site of Toda Building. She uses the concept of “boxes” to depict the work being methodically carried out within a gigantic hole created in the town as well as the people engaged in the work. Her photographs, created by various methods, including projection, paper cutting, and digital collages, cover multiple layers of seemingly contradictory elements, such as reality and fiction, the past and the present, and detachment and warm-heartedness. Haiku poet Yuki Horimoto then picks up symbolic fragments from Shimizu’s photographs, coding them into 17 haiku syllables. The time frame dynamically moves back and forth from the present to ancient times or 2,500 years into the future. For example, a poem that includes a kigo season word meaning an epidemic that spreads in summer from ancient times—sabae-nasu-kami (literally “an evil epidemic-spreading deity likened to annoying flies in May)—depicts our current situation at the mercy of unknown viruses and the history of recurring epidemics from a broad viewpoint.

Kazuhei Kimura took photographs of various layers of window and wall reflections while wandering around Kyobashi. Countless reflections constantly change with transient incoming light. In those fleeting images, the present meets the past, the inside meets the outside, and the self meets the other, blurring the boundary between the reality and unreality. In response to these photographs, poet Mimi Hachikai’s words depict layers of various urbanites’ stories and objects that make up the town. In her poems, people and things from the past to the present that came and went and that appeared and disappeared meet and overlap one another through the medium of land. Such dream-like encounters evoke memories of the town that live on in today’s landscapes while implying how the town continues to regenerate itself day by day.

The series of works in Tokyo Dialogue 2022 presents examples of answers to the question “What are dialogues?” Dialogues—resonating with each other while embracing differences and changes—seem to be what the town is all about. I hope that people who encounter these photographs and poems will recall urban experiences and memories and engage in imagination-sparked dialogues with the works.

This publication is the first of its kind featuring Tokyo Dialogue 2022–2024, an annual art project spanning these three years and jointly organized by Toda Corporation and the T3 Photo Festival Tokyo Executive Committee.

T3 Photo Festival Tokyo involves the three major pillars of (1) photo exhibitions, (2) talks & events, and (3) a student project, with the vision of creating an Asian hub to nurture the next-generation photography culture. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, Tokyo International Photography Festival held in Jonanjima, Ota Ward in 2015, T3 Photo Festival Tokyo was launched in Ueno Park in 2017 as the first international outdoor photo festival in Tokyo. Since 2020, the event has been held in public open spaces in areas to the east of Tokyo Station (Yaesu, Nihonbashi, and Kyobashi), and we at Toda Corporation have also been supporting the festival as a project to discover and foster new charms of this area since then.

As of 2022, the area to the east of Tokyo Station sees countless ongoing urban development projects, and we are also constructing Toda Building (tentative name) in Kyobashi, scheduled for completion in the fall of 2024. As we have witnessed rapidly changing cityscapes at the forefront as a construction company, we started feeling that we need to capture the fleeting moments of the town amidst those changes. Our desire led to the launch of Tokyo Dialogue 2022–2024 based on input from and dialogues with the T3 Photo Festival Tokyo team.

Tokyo Dialogue 2022–2024 is a project involving multiple photographers and writers with various perspectives and activity breadths who pair up to create works that depict the town through “dialogues” using “photographs” and “words” in Kyobashi, Tokyo. This year, to highlight Kyobashi, the collaborative works—poems were written to accompany the photographic works—are exhibited at the temporary enclosure for Toda Building under construction, and a collection of the works is also published.

The Kyobashi area in Tokyo was home to artisans and merchants during the Edo period and is known as the birthplace of Japanese kabuki theatre. The Meiji era (late 19th century) saw a thriving film industry, and antique art galleries lined streets into the Showa era (late 20th century). Having been a historical center of culture and performing arts, the Kyobashi environment is conducive to creators and generous to artists.

Having been headquartered in Kyobashi for just over 120 years, we intend to use lower floors of our new building, which is currently under construction to last for the next 100 years, to host art and culture facilities where today’s artists, creators, and local residents can gather and create new value together.

From the summer through the fall of 2022, Kyobashi, at the heart of Tokyo, is in the midst of redevelopment for continual regeneration in a mature society. Invisible memories of the town are etched on the land where landscapes constantly change and people gather, live, and come and go. We trust that this collection of works of the artists who freely captured cityscapes from their own viewpoints will serve as a record of today’s Kyobashi, Tokyo for the future.
