statement

In this era, in which everybody can easily record and produce images, our society overflows with images.
We perceive the world unconsciously as a collective of images. Image recording medium including photography, film and video consolidates its position strongly as a "truth recording" medium.

I am however attempting to subdivide meaning of images into fundamental elements to explore natural character of the medium, which is originally just supposed to be result of physical and chemical action of light and film.
Therfore I intend not to produce images but to show just process or result of simple physical phenomenon in which various kind of accidents as spontaneous manipulation of the medium itself always occur, not of my artistic intention.

Renunciation of artistic egoism and liberation of art work from commodity fetishism.
