「Breathing Shadow of the Bombed Trees」 I used the photogram's technique to take pictures of bombed trees in Hiroshima. I want to take not only a figure of bombed trees but also "Time" of them. It is the reason why I use the technique "Photogram" to take pictures of bombed trees. To use the sensitized paper and take their shadow, I thought I was able to catch the days from August 6 1945 to 2012 when we live now.
The Bombed Trees were burned by the blast of the little boy, and about 2km distance from the centre of the explosion on August 6th,1945 during the Second World War. However, the bombed trees have been growing up strongly till today, this outcome made me so impressed and gave a great inspiration for my execution.
From July 2016 I also started work to shoot the shadows of Fukushima's "Radiated trees".
「被爆樹木」とは、爆心地から約２km圏内で被爆した木を指す。フォトグラムで被爆樹木を撮影しようと思ったのは、今生きている被爆樹木の「時間」をダイレクトに写し撮りたいと考えたから。
被爆樹木の影を、直接感光紙に焼き付けることで1945年8月6日から現在までの生きてきた「時間」を掬いとれるのではないかと考えた。
原爆に耐え、現在も力強く生きる姿を感じながら2012年から毎年広島に行き制作。
2016年から福島の「被曝樹木」の影を撮影するワークもスタートした。
作品は旅をして多くの人の心と対話をする。2017年は戦後７2年目の年。
2017年も広島に生きる被爆樹木の姿を作品やワークショップを通して、その樹木の「今」を世界中の人に伝えたいと考えている。
