開催内容
「しきしま」は西村多美子が1969～72年にかけて北海道、東北、北陸、関東、関西、中国地方を旅しながら撮影してきた日本各地の風土と人々の写真です。
この度禅フォトギャラリーでは1973年に発行された幻の写真集『しきしま』のオリジナルプリントを展示・販売致します。
“Shikishima" is a series of photographs taken during 1969-72 on the photographer Tamiko Nishimura's journeys around the Tohoku, Hokuriku, Kanto, Kansai, and Chugoku regions of Japan.
We will show original prints from the photo book "Shikishima" which was first published in 1973. Along with the exhibition, a complete reprinted edition of the book "Shikishima" will be published by Zen Foto Gallery, with a supplement which is composed of unpublished photographs.
"The weather changed often, with strong winds, sunshine, clouds, and rain. I was strongly attracted by the how the light shined, by the smell of flowers, and just by the atmosphere of the place, rather than what I actually saw. Even if I walk through the same place every day, each walk would be different, depending on who I meet or how the light shines.
It is not particularly about visiting somewhere new. Still, while watching foreign ships in Kobe Port I dreamed of one day
sailing in one to a country I've never been to before." (text by Tamiko Nishimura)
