北原一宏 Kazuhiro Kitahara

北原一宏,1976年出生于日本兵库县明石市,毕业于视觉艺术専門学校摄影专业,师从写真家上田義彦,现为独立摄影师。“Utsutsuke”系列的主题是一个分别处于黑白背景前的舞者,一阴一阳,寓意人的两面性,同时他也尝试着克服黑白胶片的限制并尽量去除黑白印刷中的灰度。
Kazuhiro Kitahara was born in 1976 in Akashi, Hyogo, Japan, majoring in photography in Visual Arts Special School. He studied under a respected photographer Yoshihiko Ueda. He now works as a freelance photographer. In this”Utsutsuke”series, one dancer lives in the white (means light place), and the other exits in the black (means underground). He tried to express that one can exist in both the black and the white. He also tried to overcome the limitations of monochrome film by removing the tone gradation of monochrome print.
滝口浩史:窥视 / Koji Takiguchi: PEEP

屠夫 / Butcher / 2008
滝口浩史,1977年生于日本静冈县。他凭借作品“狭间”受到评委荒木经惟的青睐而与川村素代共享了2004年佳能写真新世纪的大奖。假杂志曾对他的“挂毯”系列做过介绍。应摄影师自己的推荐,今天再来介绍一下他正在进行中的项目“窥视”。这个系列以个体为切入点,跟踪拍摄他(她)在工作、家中、在做喜欢的事时的状态,被拍对象的职业有屠夫、学生、清洁工人、AV女优、杂志编辑、服务员、公务员等等,看上去是在“偷窥”他人的生活,但是到头来窥见的却是自己。最终的结果让我想起了那部德国影片《他人的生活》(俗译《窃听风暴》)。
Koji Takiguchi was born in 1977 in Shizuoka, Japan. His photo “Hazama (in between the two)” won the co-grand prize (selected by Nobuyoshi Araki) of Canon “New Cosmos of photography” in 2004. Jia Za Zhi has introduced his Tsudureori series before. Koji wrote to us to recommend his on-going series PEEP. The series “peeps” people’s state in one’s work time, home and favorite, such as Butcher, student, cleaner, female video porn star, magazine editor, maid-coffee shop, government officer. Finally, the photographer peeps himself. The result reminds me of one Dutch movie The Lives of Others.

林田摄子 Hayashida Setsuko

林田摄子,1976年生于东京,2000年毕业于东京综合写真专门学校。她的「箱庭の季節」(箱庭的季节)系列开始于2000年,至今已有10年。每年夏天,林田摄子都会回到母亲的出生地,也是林田摄子儿时成长的地方,长崎海边的小镇。“回归”是每个假期的固有基调,虽然每一年的眼光在变,人和物也在变,但在这座有着上百年历史的古老庭院里一切仿佛变得安静、缓慢。摄影师镜头中表现的都是最平常不过的景物——长辈、孩子、器皿、插花、食物、字画、落叶等等,却有一股强大的对时光流逝、物是人非的悲悯潜藏始终。本文作品选自「箱庭の季節 2009」。
Hayashida Setsuko, born in 1976 in Tokyo, graduated from Tokyo College of Photography. She started the “Ebb and Flow” series from 2000. Every summer, she came back to her mother’s hometown at the seaside of Nagasaki. “Came back” was only possible to feel sincerely. The courtyard has been quiet for a hundred years, watching the changes on people and things. Sometimes, we can feel the changes on photographer herself. These works are from “Ebb and Flow 2009″.
中野修一 Shuichi Nakano

中野修一,1966年出生于北海道,后前往德国游学,现居秋田县湯沢市。他的绘画常常利用想象让自然和城市的景物相聚、冲撞,看似偶然,却在质疑整个星球迈向都市化和现代化的必要性。本文作品选自他的”寻找乐园”系列。
Artist Shuichi Nakano was born in 1966 in Hokkaido, Japan, and stayed in Germany from 1991-1992. He now lives in Yuzawa, Akita Prefecture. His works make natural and city scenes meet and collide in imagination, seemingly accidental, tending to question the necessity of the whole planet to urbanization and modernization. The images are from his Searching for Paradise series.
