Hyakuno Mikito - not so far (away)

My first exhibition ''not so far (away)''

all photographs were made with c print.

I remembered that people who are good at cooking are good at taking pictures, when I picked up purple turnips at the Kamakura City Agricultural Cooperatives Market.
Choosing ingredients is equivalent to choosing a subject in photography. If there is no clear indication of where the ingredients were produced, it is almost impossible. The same is true of subjects photographed. Cooking is similar to the process of filming, and the process of seasoning and serving is almost like editing. In this day and age, you can imitate most things to some extent if you look into them. I felt that all the restaurants in town have the same taste.
Feeling a sense of crisis, I desperately focused and acted to reflect on my hometown. The motifs of the works themselves seem to be separated from each other, but they all have something in common, and the objects should not be so far apart. Through these photographs, a spirituality that does not seem to be bound by the local roots, but is actually sometimes bound, should be revealed. Each step connects the distant points the closest.
