Description
| Yoshinori Mizutani continuously captures ordinary, everyday scenes with his unique perspective. This new work, a sequel to his previous work "Tokyo Parrots," which made him a household name, follows the abnormal breeding of river cormorants in the suburbs of Tokyo, The new work is a departure from Mizutani's previous works, which were impressive for their vivid colors, and is expressed in monotone tones of black and white, like a black-and-white photograph, although it is in color. The urban landscape, singularized by the presence of birds, is cut out in Mizutani's signature graphical composition, transforming it into a two-dimensional world in which the viewer loses a sense of perspective. The flocks of birds occupying the power lines in the Tokyo sky are silhouetted like musical notes on a sheet of music. In this photo book, I likened this score-like image to a French piano instruction book [Hanon]. [The scene of the river cormorants swarming in the city, out of balance with their surroundings, is a kind of wake-up call to modern society. At the same time, however, the black birds seem to be playing a beautiful melody in the sky like a musical score.] -Yoshinori Mizutani |

作家の名を一躍世に広めた前作『Tokyo Parrots』の続編として、東京近郊に異常繁殖した川鵜を追った新作は、
鮮やかな色彩が印象的だったこれまでの水谷作品とは一線を画し、カラーながらモノクロ写真のごとき白と黒のモノトーンの色調で表現されています。
鳥の存在によって特異化した都市風景は、水谷の得意とするグラフィカルな構図によって切り取られ、遠近感覚を失った二次元世界へと変換されます。
東京の空に架かる電線を占拠する大群の姿はシルエットとなって、まるで譜面に並ぶ音符記号のように浮かび上がります。
写真集では、その譜面のようなイメージを、フランスのピアノ教則本「HANON」になぞらえました。
「都市の中で大群をなす川鵜たちと周囲の環境とのつりあいが取れていない光景は、現代社会へのある種の警鐘でもある。しかし、同時に黒い鳥たちは、まるで音譜よろしく上空で美しい旋律を奏でているようにも思えるのであった。」-水谷吉法
