Statement

JP
私は、世界とのあいだにあるわずかな距離や、認識のずれに惹かれている。
‍
光や反射、透過するものなどを見つめながら、触れそうで触れきらない関係のなかで生まれる感覚を写真として残している。
‍
見えているはずの世界がわずかに揺らぐ瞬間をすくい取りながら、ものの見方が静かに変わるような表現を目指している。
EN
I am interested in the subtle distance and perceptual shifts that arise between myself and the world.
‍
Through light, reflections, translucent surfaces, and other forms of mediation, I explore the sensations that emerge within relationships that seem near, yet remain slightly beyond reach.
‍
My photographs seek to capture moments when the familiar world quietly wavers, inviting a subtle shift in the way we perceive and experience what surrounds us.
Toyohiko Ozeki (piyoh.)

On the work

日常のなかにある光や反射、透過する表面を通して、
自分と世界とのあいだに生まれる距離や、見え方の揺らぎを撮影しています。

Through light, reflections, and translucent surfaces found in everyday life,
I explore the quiet distance between myself and the world, and the subtle shifts in the way we perceive it.
