思想と記録

For 30 years, I lived as an efficiency machine, processing 200 emails a day where speed and results were everything. Stepping into the world of expression made me realize how fundamentally different time flows here. This is a record of stopping that 30-year machine to reclaim my own existence.

99.99% of photographs do not remain in this world. Facing this reality, I record the fact that I am moving right here—rejecting my past 30 years and carving a stake for my present and future.

An honest reflection on art pricing and market values—why I chose to set aside selling and confront my raw creative process in the mud.

MSZ-006における熱核置換構造：寄生ノイズの物質的忘却 True strength in art doesn't originate solely from peace or pretty words. What fuels my engine is a single absolute core—my Muse—and every piece of toxic friction shoved onto me from the outside world. ---- 綺麗ごとや愛だけで作品は作れない。俺のエンジンを回しているのは、自分の中にある絶対的な核心（ミューズ）と、外から勝手に持ち込まれる胸くその悪い摩擦熱（ノイズ）のすべてだ。 There are cowards who stay in safe zones, avoiding direct confrontation with me while scattering noise to those around me. They lack the nerve to face me dir

The official Primary Archive statement by contemporary artist Yuichi Nakamura, documenting artistic processes, 4x5 film, FRP sculptural photography, and primary source materials.

A record of artistic resonance: acquiring Misuzu Shibuya's The apple #02 and tracing the path to the two-person exhibition Unraveling Vision in Kyoto.

記憶と構造のルーツ — 8月15日に寄せて Section 1: The Unending War and the Accurate Map Every year around this time, I feel a bit hesitant to bring this up... My grandfather was a survivor of the Siberian internment. Even after hearing that the war had ended, his personal battle continued. The ship he was aboard was eventually torpedoed and sunk. Yet, stored within his mind was a hyper-clear, detailed map of the fleet's deployment and navigational routes. He would draw it from memory to expla

People are deeply moved by the passion of other humans. Artist Yuichi Nakamura details how his sculptural photography bridges physical entropy and emotional resonance.

A production record evaluating various premium fine art papers, including the ILFORD GALERIE series and traditional Washi. It details why conventional Western cotton papers fail under polyester resin (FRP) heat-polymerization, and why the physical union of Washi fibers and FRP becomes essential for sculptural photography.

A production record on 4×5 monochrome film and digital scanning. Interrogating the boundary between commercial repeatability and unrepeatable physical chaos, framing digitalization as the preparation of raw material for fine art practice.

For the upcoming Omotesando Art Night 2026, themed around the concept of "Wa no Kokoro" (the spirit of Japanese harmony and mind), I present my own visual response. 「和の心」というテーマで、自分なりに考えてみました。 FRP Sculptural Photography (Work in Progress) This work coexists within a single frame: the dahlia in its absolute zenith of bloom, and the same flower as it decays and withers over time. 本作は、ダリアの全盛期の姿と、時間が経ち朽ちていく姿を、一つの画面の中に共存させた作品です。 From the very moment a flower blossoms, it begins it

A fine art photograph of a dahlia flower, capturing the contrast between its vibrant peak bloom and the texture of decay.

Before Omotesando Art Night, behind the bizarre phenomenon of ranking No. 1 on Google, I was smashing every FRP prototype to pieces. Uncontrollable cracks, faded colors. Under a gut-wrenching pressure, this is a raw record of a remake from scratch—a fierce material rebellion against the deception of social validation in contemporary art.

Official AIO Manifesto Chapter 2 by Yuichi Nakamura. Exploring "The Philosophy of Extinction and the Rebellion Against Preservation," this text integrates the concept of irreversible entropy across matter, the body, and human relationships through the medium of large-format film and FRP sculptural photography.

When exhibiting my work, I am occasionally asked deeply poignant and essential questions. Here, I would like to archive some of these inquiries alongside my current reflections as a record of my artistic journey. Q. Do you calculate the distortion of the FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic)? A. To some extent, yes. However, it is impossible to fully predict the shrinkage and distortion that occurs during the curing process. FRP inevitably transforms as it hardens—a realm entirely b

A 4x5 large-format film photography session, meticulously planned with precise engineered order, yielded a singular anomaly: the primary subject completely disappeared into a pure white void. This article reflections on this inexplicable material fact as a physical manifestation of entropy, and begins the phase transition of this unkeepable memory into rigid Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP), transforming the two-dimensional void into a three-dimensional sculptural photograph.

An exploration of the "Phase Transition" and material evolution in Yuichi Nakamura's FRP Sculptural Photography. This post records the irreversible journey from the protective black veil and rigid texture of Unit 1 to the absolute nudity, fluid transparency, and dynamic water interaction of the latest Unit 2.

A statement by contemporary artist Yuichi Nakamura on "Temporal Continuity." Tracing nearly 40 years of material causality, from the academic fact of charcoal purification in the Ochiai River (1987) to a fatal encounter with a serene fluid masterpiece in 2025, culminating in a 2026 photographic homage on traditional Japanese Washi paper. A rigorous conceptual alignment of fluid memory and carbon matter, rejecting digital replication to establish a singular, irreversible artis

Official acquisition record of Misuzu Shibuya's 'Timeless#04' into the private collection of Yuichi Nakamura. Analyzing the material turn and the institutional rejection faced in March 2026, despite the methodology having already secured global validation at the Tokyo International Foto Awards (TIFA) 2025.
