EXHIBITION

Naoki Honjo [ light house ]

/ September 24 (Sat) - Nobenver 5 (Sat), 2011

1978年東京生まれ。東京工芸大学大学院芸術学研究科メディアアート専攻修了。
コミュニティーや人の介在を背景に生じている景色や建造物を、
自然界において観察される一つの表現型として撮影。
フィルムへのこだわり、4×5判カメラの煽り、空撮、世界へ及ぶ広範なロケ地選定など、
構築的に積み重ねられた要素が現すその柔らかな絵で注目される。
写真集『small planet』で第32回木村伊兵衛賞を受賞。
主なコレクション先としてメトロポリタン美術館、ヒューストン美術館がある。
2つのギャラリーで開催されるこの度の個展。
nap galleryでは、代表作ともなっている住宅街の空撮によりスコーネ地方を。
TSCAでは、東京の住宅街を地上から切り取った作品を、
10年前の未発表作品と共に最新作を展示。
天と地、対極にありながらも本城直季のフィルターを通して一対になる
2会場での作品をこの機会にぜひご高覧下さい。

Born 1978, Tokyo. Studied media art at Tokyo Polytechnic University Faculty of Arts.

Honjo photographs landscapes and buildings in the context of communities and human intervention, presenting them as though they were phenotypes observed within nature. He has garnered attention for his soft pictures, which he creates from a constructed layering of elements, including his preference for film, use of 4×5 large format cameras, aerial shooting, and his worldwide selection of shot locations. His photography book, small planet, received the 32^nd Kimura Ihei Award, and his works are housed in collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The upcoming exhibition of Honjo’s works will be held at two galleries. On display at the nap gallery will be his most well-known works, aerial shots of residential neighborhoods in Skåne County, Sweden. On display at TSCA will be new works alongside unpublished works from 10 years ago, shots of residential areas in Tokyo cut off from the ground. Through Honjo’s filter, sky and ground, opposite though they are, become one. We invite you to take this opportunity to see Honjo’s work on display at the two galleries.
