Einmal ist Keinmal
2003–2013
一度しか起こりえないことを写真に撮って何度も眺める一にも数えられないような出来事に、カメラを向ける。なにげない風景が、なにげなく振る舞ったことは、きっと一度もないなにかまったく同じことが二度以上起こることは、厳密にはありえない。私はそのつど、ひとつに満たないほど貴重でめずらしいものをこの手に収めたような錯覚に陥る。忘れたくないことや、伝えたいことなど、写真にとってはたいしたことではないのだろう。でもそれは同時に、撮るものにとっての救いだとも思う。写真は、ただ人と繋がる手段なのかもしれない。もしくは何かの象徴なのだろうか。わからない。そして、一度しか起こらないことの連続からなる、あるひとつの時間のかたまりも一度しかない、あるいは一度もない。

It is about freezing a single moment that will never recur and looking at it again and again. It is about capturing a moment which never happened at all through a camera lens.A certain moment will never recur, ever again.Although everything seems accidental, surely nothing happens by sheer chance. Or it may be an act of capturing a sole and precious moment. Attempting to perfectly preserve a certain moment, Or trying to accurately convey a message,
Is impossible. But for the photographers, it’s a good thing. Maybe photography is simply a means to connect with people Maybe it is merely a symbol for the things we perceive. So what is photography? That remains a mystery. Having said that the life composed by consecutive precious moment, Is also happens just once, or never happens.
