2022年に資生堂創業150周年を記念し発刊されます記念号『花椿』にて、「万物資生」をテーマに師匠の藤井保さんと共に作品を作り上げました。共創にも関わらずそれぞれの場所で別々に撮影を行い、そこから共創させていく。写真家が2人いるということは、それぞれに表現する写真や見せたい世界が異なるように思いますが、2人の思考が面白いように重なり合う瞬間を垣間見ることができるように感じます。写真家2人がどのように撮影し、作り上げていったのか、対談の中でも語っておりますのでどうぞご覧ください。I created this work together with master photographer Tamotsu Fujii on the theme “Banbutsu Shisei” (from classical Chinese poetry: “How wonderful are the virtues of the earth, from which all things are born!”) in the commemorative edition of Hanatsubaki, published in commemoration of the 150th anniversary in 2022 of the founding of Shiseido. Although it was a co-creation, we each took our own photos at different locations before starting the co-creation work. I think having 2 photographers means differences in photographic expression and in the worlds they each want to show, but interestingly, it seems to offer glimpses of our overlapping ideas. You can see a conversation where we 2 photographers discuss how we approached our photographic work, how we went about creating them, so please take a look.
