about

Naoki's work lies in the shadow, at that time of day in which neither light nor darkness affirm themselves.
An open window, ruptured, torn curtains quietly blown by breathless tenants: flags of families long gone, dried blood on the floor, one last look at now empty rooms which once echoed of laughter and children's games.
It was not all perfect.
It was a long time ago.
Nameless photos in a temple flea market. There's something written in the back but it's of that handwriting that only the elderly have. Harmonious yet childish, broken and elegant. Now faded. Tongues delivered by unsteady hands, as if our languages had somehow diverted and we could not understand each other anymore. Times have gone by...
We don't know who those subjects are, nor can we see the face behind the camera. Some places seem familiar, everything seems so naive and sincere. Real, are we not?
Will one day used mobile phones wash ashore too, rich in pictures, of loved ones, birthday parties, tumultuous skies, cats and of the occasional meal, only to be sold off at a local Sunday shrine festival?
Naoki's impressionistic ambience fill wall-less spaces, speaking a language impersonal, immediately out of focus, beyond sounds, timid, permanently away.
