RECORD NO.27

「シャッターボタンを押せば写真は写せるが、写す者と写される者との間隙にひそむ意識 上の距離感には、想像を超えてシビアでデリケートな課題が常に横たわっている」(『記録27号』より著者コメント )

”That's because it surely is easy to release the shutter button and take pictures, but that consious sense of distance that hovers in the space between the photographer and the photographed always contains some severe and delicate issues beyond imagination.” -DAIDO MORIYAMA (Experts from the original text of Record No.27) The photos included in ”RECORD : No.27"are all taken in Hong Kong in March 2014.
