Description
| NY-based photographer* Yojiro Imasaka. FENDI's Omotesando Street Art Project Imasaka's collaboration with FENDI's Omotesando Street Art Project has also become a topic of conversation. published in Japanese-English bilingual edition for the first time in Japan! The unspoiled landscape at the mouth of the Mississippi River in the southern U.S. The book features delicate, analog landscape photographs of the pristine natural beauty of the Mississippi River estuary in the southern United States. Forget the concept of time and immerse yourself in the landscape before your eyes. This is a collection of works with such a mysterious charm. Imasaka's photographic style begins with researching the locations that inspire him and choosing the best photographic method for each location. Once in the location, he continues to observe the changes in light over a long period of time to formulate an image in his mind of the landscape he wishes to capture. The result is a series of detailed work that gives Imasaka's work its characteristic "delicate, landscape-painting-like" quality. This book contains 76 photographs of the landscape of the swampy area known as the "bayou" at the mouth of the Mississippi River. Imasaka's photographic technique of choice is the collodion wet plate method, a classic technique used at the end of the 19th century, before the invention of film. A large 8 x 10 camera is set with a glass plate about 1 mm thick in place of film, and the image is burned onto the glass through long exposures. The result is a unique landscape that transcends both time and space. Imasaka's landscape photography works also reflect the local culture in the background. The French Canadian immigrants who once settled in this region created the Cajun culture along with the natives. [In the [Wet Land] series, Imasaka toned the final prints with onions, an essential ingredient in the Cajun diet. These flexible ideas also make his work more multilayered. The exhibition also includes an essay by Catherine Carey Galitz, an art historian specializing in 19th century Western painting and a member of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; an interview with Imasaka by Yasufumi Nakamori, former senior curator of photography at the Tate Modern and current director of the Asia Society; and a commentary by Imasaka himself. Included is an interview with Imasaka, as well as an explanation of the photographic process by Imasaka himself.

FENDIの表参道 ストリート アート プロジェクト
とのコラボも話題となった今坂の作品集が
日英バイリンガル版で、待望の日本初刊行！
アメリカ南部ミシシッピ河口に広がる手つかずの
自然美を、アナログで撮影した繊細な風景写真。
時の概念を忘れ、目の前の風景に没入してしまう
ーーそんな不思議な魅力をたたえた作品集。
今坂の撮影スタイルはインスピレーションを受けた土地へのリサーチを積み重ね、その土地に合った撮影方法を選択することから始まります。撮影場所に入ってからは長期にわたり現場の光の移り変わりを見続け、撮りたい風景イメージを頭の中で固めていきます。細かい作業を積み重ね、今坂作品の特徴である「風景絵画を思わせる繊細な作品」が完成するのです。
本書には、ミシシッピ河口に広がる「バイユー」と呼ばれる湿地帯の風景写真76点を収録。この撮影で今坂が選択した撮影技法は「コロジオン湿板法」。19世紀末、フィルムが発明される前に用いられていた古典的手法です。
8×10の大型カメラに、厚さ1ミリほどのフィルム代わりのガラス板をセット、長時間露光を経てイメージをガラスに焼き付ける。すると、時間も空間も超越した独特な風景が映し出されます。
今坂の風景写真作品は、背景にある土地の文化をも映し出しています。かつてこの地域に移り住んだフランス系カナダ移民は、原住民とともにケイジャン文化を生み出しました。《Wet Land》シリーズで今坂は、ケイジャンの食生活に欠かせない食材「タマネギ」を用いて最終的なプリントに調色を施しています。こうした柔軟なアイデアも、彼の作品をより重層的なものにしているのです。
そんな今坂作品を知る手立てとなるテキストも充実。19世紀西洋絵画を専門とする美術史家キャサリン・キャリー・ガリッツ（メトロポリタン美術館所属）によるエッセイ、テート・モダン写真部門シニア・キュレータをなどを経て、現アジア・ソサエティ館長の中森康文による今坂インタビュー、今坂本人の解説による撮影プロセスも収録。
