1sec project

〜 1sec(one second)01Photography Published〜



“One second 01” features photographs which had a public response and were displayed at my private exhibition held at Shibuya from September 28 to October 4 in 2008. A strong recommendation from my fans who bought original prints and the support by creators who agreed on the idea made this book possible. My plan is to create the continuing publication of 02, 03 and so on of the book with the same style, and it will be treated as the LCatalogue Raisonné of the Second Era of Yukinori Tokoro.

Product Details:
Hard Cover: 18 pages
Dimensions (Size): B5 (257mm x 182mm)

The book contains all of my initial photographs from June to September in 2008, a Shibuya map with shooting locations for the photos in “One second” and a series of email discussion about the real meaning of ‘One second’ between my friend from college and I. It will be available at bookstores with the price of 1,890 yen on September 1, 2009.

As for today, 25% of entire productions are already reserved and sold. It is strongly recommended that you contact with the following bookstores to make your reservation for the book.

If you love arts and photographs, I guarantee that the fair is worth a visit.
Please give yourself a chance to see the original prints.
The feeling you’d get from the originals is so different and you cannot get it from web sites.

◇Tokyo Photo Press Release
http://www.tokyophoto.org/data/pressrelease02.pdf

Out of about 200 pro photographers, my work has been elected to be used as a main photograph.


At the fair, about 10 rare limited editions of “One second” books will be sold. Total of only 20 of the limited editions will be published in the world. The name「PARADOX-TIME-」.This book which contains original prints is designed to be kept in an air-sealed (almost evacuated) box so that the quality of prints will be last for a long time. The box is made of the highest quality of acryl and it is breathtakingly beautiful.
Some of the book will be owned by French National Library, Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, MOMA and other art museums. It will be available at Tokyo Photo 2009 as well.

范围涉及世界各城市的1秒钟摄影

和平都市-广岛及以广岛为中心的6座友好城市的摄影。

美国的檀香山(在本次展览中未公开)、俄罗斯的伏尔加格勒(在本次展览中未公开)、加拿大的蒙特利尔、中国的重庆、韩国的大邱、德国的汉诺威。

这些地方在我还未去过前(除了檀香山和蒙特利尔,其他城市我还从来没有听说过),我已经对他们曾有过的某种悲壮的过去有所深思。

以前重庆的知名度并没有上海那么大,但现在重庆的发展速度已赶上上海、迪拜,成为世界上发展速度最快的一座城市之一。曾经在广岛漫不经心地拍摄过基町高层公寓群,让我有机会去查阅资料,感悟到和平事业和复兴事业的难度该有多大。

观看本次摄影展后,如果您对此萌生兴趣请务必查阅城市的资料,然后再体会一下一秒钟的时间流。如果这时您的兴趣范围有所扩大,那么您对摄影的见解也将会有所改变。

发表完整的作品还需要一些时间,本次展览请当作预报片进行欣赏。

范围涉及世界各城市的1秒钟摄影

主体大致上可分成两大类:

一类是以和平为主题的对广岛等有好城市群的摄影。

另外一类是一直以来让我牵肠挂肚的3座都市。

巴黎是一座我一直憧憬30多年的城市。由于过于憧憬,当我28年前去达巴黎时反而决定不拍。

其后先后去过巴黎6次,但每次都没有拍。后来我觉得可拍照的时间没剩多少,决定尝试一秒钟拍摄并解除了不拍照的禁忌。

100年以来,巴黎始终是一座世界各地的摄影作家拍照过的城市,如果没有自己独特而明确的思路,作品将会被其他数量庞大的巴黎摄影作品埋没掉。

纽约也是一座我一直憧憬的城市。

巴黎是一座欧洲最有代表性的城市,而纽约是一座北美最有代表性的城市。

以前我去过3次美国,纽约去过2次,还处于摸索阶段,觉得时间流节奏与东京差不多,因此,拍照起来觉得比较得心应手。

在亚洲,我觉得最具代表性的城市就是上海。

亚洲和西方风格的历史建筑物混在一起,让人无法抗拒怀旧情怀,无法抗拒拍照冲动。发展速度迅猛,具有旺盛的活力。走在街上,让人觉得像是在涉谷街道上走路,走起路来感觉轻松,拍起照来得心应手。

之所以我有这种感觉,也许因为我是东亚人的缘故吧,还有,街道的变化速度好像比涉谷快一些。

然而,我对上海的拍照还处于起步阶段,我要尽量抽出时间来多拍这座城市。

尽管我要拍照的城市很多。但要对这3座城市拍出好作品,恐怕我的剩余时间还不一定够用。
