Shanghai in 1986.
Young Chinese people who only know modern Shanghai can't hide their surprise and say, " This is not Shanghai ".
From the perspective of China, which has grown in recent years, this is jast an illusion.
In the early 1990s, I was still making works by placing small items directly on the film or cutting the film directly.
In April 2024,
the butoh dancer Atsushi Takenouchi returned from France for "Atsushi Takenouchi Jinen Butoh Japan Tour / Kyoto Edition".
How many years it been since I've seen his butoh dance?
In 1990,
I started using "Polaroid Type 55" and "Type 665" for monochrome nega around this time.
The first work that came to use Polaroid's unevenness and dirt.
Early photos from 1988 to 1991 when the direction of my work came to sight.
