[Exhibition Announcement] AMS Photo Gallery: "Where Photography Resides"

【展示告知】AMS写真ギャラリー「写真の居場所」出展のお知らせ


I am pleased to announce my participation in the group exhibition "Silver Halide & Wooden Panel Exhibition: Where Photography Resides" currently held at AMS Photo Gallery in Kyoto.


京都のAMS写真ギャラリーにて開催中のグループ展「銀塩写真 木製パネル展 —写真の居場所—」に、作品を出展しております。


Moving away from images consumed on digital screens, this collection explores the physical materiality of photography—rendered on wooden panels and silver halide prints—and captures the unbridgeable "distance" that remains. Below are the exhibition details along with the artist’s raw statements for each piece.


液晶画面の中で消費される画像ではなく、木製パネルや銀塩プリントという「物質」として立ち現れる写真の質感、そして決して埋まることのない「距離」を表現した作品群を展示しています。本記事では、展示概要とともに作品に込めた肉声をお伝えします。

Featured Work: "Untouchable Distance"

This series consists of a three-piece set created using digital photography as well as 4×5 large-format monochrome silver halide film. The works freeze the concept of "a distance that feels reachable yet can never be touched" into physical space through the weight of wooden panels and the density of film grain.


出展作品：『Untouchable Distance』

今回の出展作品は、デジタルおよび4×5大判銀塩フィルムによる3点組の構成です。「触れられそうで決して触れられない距離」を、木製パネルの重みと粒子の質感とともに構成しました。



01. Untouchable Distance I: Gaze

  • Medium / 技法・媒体： Digital Photograph / Mounted on Wooden Panel（デジタル写真 / 木製パネル装丁）

  • When thinking of the untouchable.　触れられないものを想う時


A fine art portrait of a woman with dark hair and straight bangs against a smooth, cool blue-gray background. Positioned on the left side of the frame, she looks up slightly with a dreamy, contemplative expression. Her dark hair flows over her shoulders, with delicate strands softly veiling her face and catching subtle light. She wears a simple white garment that leaves her shoulders exposed. The overall lighting is soft, cold, and quiet, creating an atmosphere of emotional distance, memory, and calm introspective beauty.


02. Untouchable Distance II: Threshold

  • Medium / 技法・媒体： 4×5 Monochrome Film / Silver Halide Print, Mounted on Wooden Panel（4×5モノクロフィルム / 銀塩プリント・木製パネル装丁）

  • Suffocating under the weight of "rules" humans imposed upon themselves.

    人間が自ら定めた「ルール」に縛られ、息を潜めている。


    An artistic, closely cropped fine art photograph of a woman against a dark, moody backdrop with rich film grain. The composition crops out her eyes, focusing on her lower face with subtle red lipstick, her throat, and her upper body. She is draped in an elegant, loosely knotted white fabric that flows across her torso. The cool blue and charcoal color palette, combined with the heavy silver-halide grain texture, emphasizes presence, memory, and physical trace over identity.


03. Untouchable Distance III: Trace

  • Medium / 技法・媒体： 4×5 Monochrome Film / Silver Halide Print, Mounted on Wooden Panel（4×5モノクロフィルム / 銀塩プリント・木製パネル装丁）

  • Affirming that person.　その人を肯定すること。


    A dark, atmospheric fine art photograph shot on 4x5 monochrome film. A person is captured from behind, sitting in profile on a white block against a deep indigo-blue background. They hold an antique wooden tripod in front of them with one hand. Wearing a dark lace top and high-waisted briefs, their back and legs are exposed under low-key lighting. The image features a distinct, heavy analog film grain texture, evoking a sense of tangible history, boundary, and quiet isolation.

Official Support from AMS Photo Gallery & Energy of the Venue

We are truly honored that the host, AMS Photo Gallery (AMS-Photo Labo Kyoto), has featured and shared (reposted) our work and the exhibition views on their official social media channels.


主催（AMS写真ギャラリー）からの応援と会場の熱量

今回の展示にあたり、主催である AMS写真ギャラリー（AMS-Photo Labo Kyoto）様公式SNS にて、作品および会場風景を丁寧に取り上げ、ご紹介・拡散（リポスト）をいただいております。



The gallery brings together 56 remarkable wooden panel and silver halide photographic works from artists across the country. Beyond a standard group display, it serves as a highly concentrated space where each artist genuinely confronts the question: "Where does photography reside as a physical material?"


会場には、全国から集まった素晴らしい木製パネル作品・銀塩写真（全56点）が一堂に会しています。単なる個人の作品展示にとどまらず、「写真が物質としてどこに存在するのか」というテーマに各作家が真摯に向き合った、極めて密度の高い空間となっています。


Final Words

Unlike images endlessly scrolled on digital screens, there is a tangible texture in the prints, a three-dimensional weight in the wooden panels, and a distinct "sense of distance" created by the lighting and air of the venue.


If you are in the area, we cordially invite you to visit the gallery and experience firsthand the presence and subtle distortion of distance emanating from the physical works.


最後に

二次元の画面をスクロールするだけでは決して味わえない、プリントの質感、木製パネルの立体感、そして会場の光と空気が織りなす「距離感」があります。


お近くにお越しの際は、ぜひ足をお運びいただき、実物の作品が放つ気配と質感を会場で直接体感してください。皆様のご来場を心よりお待ちしております。
