The transience of change, both tangible and intangible. Photographer Hidetoshi Narita's first photo exhibition, "The Whiteness of Fragility," will be held at stacks bookstore.

Photographs in which the photographer puts what comes from within him or her are different from the intensity that resides in advertising photography.

Starting next Saturday, October 14,Hidetoshi NaritaThe first exhibition of the "stacks bookstore." will be done in the following manner. After reading the statement written by Mr. Narita , I thought about that again.

A major theme in Mr. Narita's work is the borderline between the dynamic movement of human emotions and the subtle transitions that lead up to that point.

When I look back at Narita's photographs in fashion and culture magazines and in various advertisements, I see expressions that I have never seen on familiar actors and models, and nuances that I may have overlooked.

For Mr. Narita, the feeling of "getting" a photograph is important, and is one of his motivations.

In the process of making this work, he tried to see through the photographs as if they were film, and to attach them to the panels using the technique of Japanese-style painting. . This gave him a new sense of emotion as the photographs were transformed and became their own optimal forms.

There was a feeling of "getting" the photos in a real sense, which was different from the joy of having them appear in the world as data, and he decided to exhibit them for the first time.

. This is the first exhibition for Ms. Narita. A single-cut photo book will be sold at the same time, so please check it out as well.

Incidentally, the title of this exhibition, "Kureme no Shirusa," was chosen by Mr. Narita because of the origin of the character for "koku" ("break"). If you ask him, "壊" is a Kanji character created from the image of a shrine in hen-do (earth) and tsukuri (earth) with tears flowing and clothes wet, and one theory is that it represents the image of a person crying and destroying a local shrine when he or she has to leave the area for some reason.

In an age of complex, invisible information, the form of things that have form disappears and the form of things that do not have form takes shape. This exhibition, which traces these analog changes, is sure to strike a chord with viewers. Please come and see it at the exhibition.
