Open System Solitude「開放系の孤独」を写せたら、誰にも知られることのない人々の孤独にも一瞬届くかもしれない。
早くは物心つく前から転居転校転職転居……中学で写真に興味を持ち、高校で写真部を創設。大学でも劇団を作るまで写真部に所属しました。当時の写真部はモノクロフィルムで撮影、現像、暗室作業、展示用パネルまですべて手作りでした。 その後、写真はある時は表現手段、ある時は仕事、ある時は関係のない世界に。 2011年にデジタルに移行してFlickrにアップを始めます。しかし2013年、iPhone壁紙を制作開始。創作意欲は壁紙に向かい、2015年には写真のアップも停止します。 2024年7月、写真を再開。阿蘇の麓から続く自然と町の境界にTSMCが来て間もなく、建設中のビルと廃屋が隣り合う熊本菊池で、『Lil’Mysteries』をテーマに小さな不思議を探しました。 そうやって誰もいない田舎道を歩くうちに、一年だけ通った中学校の通学路を歩いた数年前を思い出しました。今はもう誰もいない、いたとしてもあの頃の自分たちはどこにもいない今を、知らない人とすれ違うこともなく歩く、それを話す相手さえどこにもいない、馴染みのある、孤独よりも孤独な孤独。 私は写真を撮るために歩いていたのではなく、一人で歩くために撮っていたのです。 主な使用カメラはRICOH GR （初代APS-C） ARTIST STATEMENT
Open System SolitudeIf I could capture the solitude of an open system, perhaps I might momentarily reach the loneliness of those whom no one knows.
Before I could even form memories, I was already moving, to new homes, new schools, new cities, new jobs. I discovered photography in junior high, founded a photography club in high school, and remained in one through university, until I co-founded a small theater group. In those days everything was manual. From shooting and developing monochrome film to crafting exhibition panels by hand. Since then, photography has stayed close, sometimes as a means of expression, sometimes as work, sometimes as something entirely apart. In 2011 I turned digital and began posting on Flickr. But by 2013 my creative focus shifted toward making iPhone wallpapers, and by 2015 I had stopped uploading photographs altogether. In July 2024 I picked up the camera again. Around Kikuchi, Kumamoto, where TSMC’s arrival was reshaping the boundary between nature and town at the foot of Mt. Aso, I began exploring small wonders under the theme Lil’ Mysteries, where emerging construction stood beside fading ruins. As I walked those empty country roads, I remembered a moment a few years earlier, when I revisited the route I once took to the junior high I attended for a single year. I walked through a present where no one remains, or even if they did, the us from back then no longer exists. I walked without passing a stranger, with no one to share that feeling with. It was a familiar solitude, lonelier than loneliness. I realized I wasn’t walking to take photographs. I was taking photographs to walk alone. Main camera: RICOH GR (first‑generation APS‑C)
