カメラを用い、歴史、風景、人間との対話を軸に作品制作を行う3人の展覧会。共に京都造形芸術大学で写真、映像を学び現在それぞれの場で活動をしている。
学部に在籍中の白井は専門を絵画から映像表現に移してして1年も満たないが、約2ヶ月のあいだ高校の恩師に同行。自身の経験を元に美術教育のあり方に迫るドキュメンタリー映像を制作。東京藝術大学大学院映像研究科に在籍する志村は、視覚として認知しにくくなっている歴史に関心を寄せる。現在暗渠になっている横浜近郊の川のリサーチを重ねており、そこから掘り起こされる史実を元にした作品を制作している。人と環境との関わりを捉えることを大きなテーマとし、都市および郊外をフィールドにした写真制作を行ってきた大河原は、自身の皮膚をモチーフとした新シリーズの発表を予定。

Surface and Depths

An exhibition that shows the works of three people who use cameras to reflect history, scenery, and the dialogues between people. They studied the photography and video course together at the Kyoto University of Art and Design, and are now currently working in their own places. Shirai, who is a student of the University, has moved from painting to video expression for less than a year, but has been accompanying her previous high school teacher for approximately 2 months. Based upon her own experience, she produced a documentary that focuses on the ideal methods for art education. Shimura, who is a student at the Graduate School of Image Studies at Tokyo University of the Arts, has an interest in history that is difficult to acknowledge with one’s visual perception. She has been conducting research on rivers in the suburbs of Yokohama which are currently used as subterranean drain, and she is producing works based on the historical facts that are being uncovered there. Okawara has been carrying out photography work in the city and its suburbs, with their main theme being on capturing the relationship between people and their environment, and he plans to announce a new series with his own “skin” as the motif.
