Tsubasa Kawaguchi Exhibition “THE NEGATIVE”

Once around last winter、No, twice or three times、I can't believe any of the images in my photos。I also felt dark。When I calm down and think back、I feel like what I'm saying even though I haven't had a lot of time doing photography yet.、It ’s true that I had doubts。Is it a beginner's luck in a sense?。At least more than the image of light captured by the camera、That suspicion was more certain。But at one point、When you literally turn it over、Oh、This "negative" too、Was it true、I felt。 Kawaguchi Tsubasa Profile / Profile 1999 Born in Shizuoka Prefecture 2018 Moved to Tokyo 2019 Entered Tokyo Visual Arts Department of Photography 2021 Scheduled to graduate from the same school Website: HTTPS://kawaguchitsubasa.com Following the exhibition by Mr. Tamegumi held last week、From tomorrow, TPPG will hold an exhibition of my seminar student, Kawaguchi Tsubasa.。 You may be surprised to see the exhibition introduction visuals on the TPPG website and press releases.、The author is by no means playful、I'm not holding it diagonally, I'm very serious。Think about "photographs" in his own way、That image was what I arrived at。The visuals of the person himself are also unusual,、Among the many students I have been involved with, he is the one who took the lessons and production very seriously.。By the way, the image above is an attache case containing 22 hand-made booklets that he made while he was in school.。Please see along with the photo of the wall。 * Because this exhibition uses special lighting、The entrance is covered with a black cloth。I can't see the situation from the outside、I hope you can enter without fear.。

A new type of coronavirus that has had a considerable impact on all humankind、I think it had a particularly big impact on active students。What most of my two-year student life expected、Because it ’s very different from what I expected.。The second grader was forced to make a big change in the shooting plan for the graduation work.、Many classes have been online for first-year students since the beginning of enrollment。And my seminar student is one、Of the 20 students in the second grade, 19 are international students from China.。Indeed, 95% of students are Chinese。Although I can speak Japanese、You would have been very worried about being exposed to a pandemic in a foreign country other than your home country.。At Ichiou School, online classes and face-to-face classes can now be selected from the middle.、It seems that the online rate of international students was high for various reasons.。Eliminate lack of exercise through online lessons! Although it is an annual location on Mt. Takao、Especially for this year's students、Breathe in the mountain air、I wanted you to move your body to your heart's content。 Because Route 6 along the river that I climb every year was closed、Start climbing from "Inariyama Road" on the ridge road。 Without muddy、The trail is in good condition。 The return of the Chinese New Year did not come true、Eny-kun talking to his family in his hometown by video call。Be careful of your feet。 The other day's heavy rain cleared up like a lie、There was a view of Mt.

Zhang Manhui Exhibition “The Roleless Role”

Psychology uses the word "Roleless Role"。It means "a person who can't find his role at all"。To know the true self、It ’s difficult for many people.。So everyone、Grow without stopping。I often say "it's important to be as it is"、Some are difficult to do、Many people are unacceptable。 Reunited with girls who had known for a long time、I heard a career of the last few years that I don't know at all。The road ahead is endlessly long、They are saved from their past、Reborn as a brand new。Embrace the future that no one knows、Living。I'm upset and fall in love、Without being unnecessarily demeaning、Face yourself deeply。 　Try to know yourself, and then love yourself.

Corona December

2020 with no plans。10The exhibition of the moon is canceled、11The exhibition scheduled for the month will be changed to February next year、8Another exhibition that wasn't planned for the month and November suddenly came in、As a matter of course, the schedule for shooting overseas is canceled、And again, the exhibition in February next year will be changed to January ...。 And、Is this also the influence of the new corona? The stock of photographic paper in Japan seems to be exhausted and I can't get it at all! This phenomenon did not start this year、It ’s worse than usual.。I searched for people for about two weeks、There seems to be no domestic stock。Reliance rope B&H also has a delivery time of 6-10 weeks。By the time the photographic paper arrives, the exhibition will begin! That's why I used only two rolls of photographic paper in the warehouse of ILFORD in the UK.、Arrange to have it sent by airmail in a hurry。Although the fare has been added to the price、It's an unavoidable expense to display using regular photographic paper。Stayed in the darkroom last weekend、I managed to complete 3 cuts by the deadline。It was a very thrilling battle。The image is a roll print waiting for a frame。From January 14th next year、It will be unveiled at ZEN FOTO GALLERY in Roppongi。 Obtaining photographic paper、We would like to thank Mr. Kojima, the owner of Lime Light Gallery in Osaka, for his efforts.。 The monk also runs、Photographer also runs、It was one act of such a december。
