The rhinoceros which walks the sky, 2015

Inkjet print

空を歩く犀。雲を眺めていたら浮かんだイメージを具現化しました。この作品は光沢紙への大判プリントを前提に、出来るだけ薄く、壁にたてかられるよう裏張りにアルミを使用しています。
多くの諸芸術は建築とともに発展/進化してきました。現代ではインスタレーションが隆盛しており写真もまた「空間」に作用するオブジェとして作品化できると考え「建築の一要素としての写真」を検討するに至りました。

The rhinoceros which walks the sky. The idea for this piece came to me as I was gazing at the clouds one day and imagined I could see a rhinoceros walking among them. The photography was shot with the intention of making large prints on glossy paper, so I chose a frame that was as thin as possible and attached aluminum to the rear so that it could be stood against a wall.
A great many art forms have developed along with the evolution of architecture. In recent years, installations have prospered and I felt that photos themselves can now be produced as “objects" that become part of the “space,” leading me to consider what kind of photographs could be considered as “architectural elements.”
