42 inches Roll RC Paper

In the previous post, I was dissatisfied with the availability of roll photographic paper.、I wrote about the challenge to Archival Pigment Print.、In parallel with that work, I was also printing on roll photographic paper in a dark room.。This time it will be held at two venues at the same time、Both venues will exhibit works taken on the streets of the city of Tokyo.、I wanted to change the exhibition method for each venue.。 The exhibition at Nihonbashi Takashimaya was actually decided two years ago.。From that time on, devise a rough exhibition concept、I was steadily preparing。on the other hand、The exhibition at ZEN FOTO GALLERY was decided only a few months ago.。Because it was an offer while I was busy making photobooks、I thought it would be difficult to hold it at the same time, so I thought I should turn it down for a moment.。However, in the next moment, the idea of ​​the current exhibition method passed through my head.、I accepted the exhibition with the desire to make it happen.。The exhibition method is to cover the wall of ZEN FOTO GALLERY with RC roll paper (RC roll paper is usually available).。Then, staring at the wall view and examining the exhibition size and the number of sheets that can be exhibited.。Two steps of 1100mm size photos to match the lowest 2200mm high wall in the gallery、I found that I needed a total of 24 works。Processing of corners on the wall of the gallery、How to open and close the door of the storage space in the wall、There were a number of issues that hadn't been resolved,、Anyway, I bought a roll photographic paper、Reserve an open darkroom on Saturdays and Sundays and proceed with the enlargement work。It was my first experience to finish this many roll prints at once.、At the end of the day's work, I'm exhausted、After returning home, I fell asleep to fall asleep。Still in the next day's work、When you look at the large print that is in focus for stretching, you will feel more energetic.。I feel "the ecstasy of black-and-white photography" in this series of work.。 These works are on display at ZEN FOTO GALLERY until August 6th.。This is an exhibition that I would like you to actually visit and experience the gallery.。 Fill the sink with water and wash with water。In the next color darkroom, TPPG member Yubun was doing printing work for the exhibition.。 Sunday、Occupy the corridor on campus without students and dry the photographic paper。 If the print is large, the dust (failed print) is also large.。And it's expensive ...。

Archival Pigment Print

Photo exhibition "Tokyo Circulation" started yesterday / Tokyo Strut "@ Nihonbashi Takashimaya Art Gallery X has a total of 87 works on display.、Three of them were made with "Archival Pigment Print".。This technique is, in a nutshell, the familiar "inkjet printing".、It seems that what is output using weather resistant pigment ink on fine art paper can be written as "Archival Pigment Print".。The main reason for using this technique this time is、Poor availability of regular photographic paper。At the photo exhibition "Tokyo Debugger" @Zen Foto Gallery held last year, I used 42-inch roll paper of the regular photographic paper "ILFORD MG FBWT".、At that time, there was no stock in Japan、I had the stock in the warehouse of ILFORD in my home country (UK) sent to me.、For convenience of transportation, UK → USA → Japan、It was a rather complicated procedure。Naturally, transportation costs and delivery time will increase.。Also this photographic paper、Poor storage stability at room temperature、Deterioration is fast in the state before use。Especially in hot and humid Japan, it is necessary to refrigerate.、It is also difficult for individuals to secure an environment for refrigerating 42-inch wide products.。 Another positive reason is、It was that there was a scanning system for PHASE ONE XF IQ4 in my acquaintance's lab "Sparking Art Studio".。This system is different from traditional rotary scanners、You can get an image of 150 million pixels in one shot。The nuances of words are difficult、Looking at the data scanned by this system、I like it because it feels more like a photo than a conventional scanner.。 And on print paper、After careful examination, I used Hahnemuhle's "Fine Art Baryta Satin".。Coupled with the PHASE ONE scan data mentioned above、The finish is as convincing as the darkroom prints made with varita photographic paper.。 Basically I like making in the darkroom、I would like to continue to do so、At present, the depletion and soaring of photosensitive materials and chemicals are endless.。Without turning your back on new technologies and methodologies、I would like to actively incorporate it。 Still, the standard is printing in a dark room。Simulate as many times as possible to get closer to it。 Although it is a digital print、I'm still excited when I get the quality I'm satisfied with。 Printing work silently by renting an open classroom on Sunday。I am also grateful for this blessed environment。

Crooked stare / Direct Photography with a Positive Viewing Attitude

Autumn art。I participate in various events this October。T3 PHOTO FESTIVAL currently being held、TOKYO ART BOOK FAIR to be held from tomorrow、And from October 29th, a group exhibition of China-Japan exchanges will be held in the city "Ningbo" in Zhejiang Province, China.。From japan、With Gallery PLACE M hosted by photographer Masato Seto、TOTEM POLE PHOTO GALLERY、Also, artists from Ningbo, China will jointly exhibit.。From TPPG, Arimoto and Yuta Fuchigami、Yo Sakamoto、To Chobon is exhibiting。It is regrettable that I cannot go to the site due to travel restrictions due to the new coronavirus.、A pre-recorded video letter will be used as a greeting at the reception.。Including Mr. Hirotake Tang who made an effort to realize the exhibition、We would like to thank all the members of the Ningbo Photographers Association.。We would also like to thank the TPPG members for their interaction and translation work.。 Please see here for the details of the exhibition。The following is an exhibition statement translation (Google Translation) Curved direct view (Google Translation) "What is this world like?" Everyone must have a different answer.、Get answers using countless photos in front of the questioner。of course、This is the way photos provide us。Before the invention of photography、People are a language to describe the world、article、Sculpture、I could only use indirect means such as painting。The invention of photography provides the technology to directly copy the "world"。This technology、To save past phenomena、Is to save human visual objects directly in a 2D image.。This original copy technology、It seems to fill the difference in the depiction of people's world。However,、The history of direct photography development、For viewing by all photographers、Different perspectives、emotion、Unforeseen circumstances、And shows that there are different viewing methods。These differences、When we see the world through images、Show us different attitudes and different souls、The world looks more diverse and wonderful from a photographic point of view。 Because Japanese culture is a neighboring country of China、Influenced not only by Chinese culture but also by Western culture、It also has a unique cultural trace and human style in terms of photographic culture.。In the golden age of Japanese photography、Providing many outstanding photographers and photographic works to the world、Established a complete photography system。This will、Japanese photography is the only one in the world、Inspired the perception of photographic culture。A new generation of Japanese photographers、Modern thought and thought、Humanities、Under the influence of social science、I let go of my obsession with photography for photography。Their vision is broader、Photographs are more socially recognized、Introspective and independent。The expression style of photographic works is diverse and subtle。In the artistic temperament of the work、Some are introverted and stubborn、Some are obvious and distant。Relaxed and wild、It's like a series of portraits of Japanese social characters。 Similarly、Contemporary Chinese photography、Whether it's building an idealistic system or creating a photographic work、Overcoming the barrier between practicalism and aesthetic form、First completed the leap of modernity。With the help of great economic development、Chinese photographic culture has achieved unprecedented prosperity、Established a relatively independent and complete feature of photo discourse。Today's Chinese photographers have a strong cultural consciousness、Photographs are society、nation、history、It ’s more connected to reality.、The intersections with the world are more dense、The attitude of looking at the world is getting stronger。calm down。Many Chinese photographers facing the cultural trend of bread fast food、Still supporting the spirit of humanitarianism、Adopt a strict photographic attitude、Integrate unique display methods and value judgments throughout the shutter press process、Discover and take pictures with your eyes Modern Chinese story。 today、Summarizing the works of Chinese and Japanese photographers、Through the various display methods offered by photographers from both countries、Understanding the world from multiple angles、I aim to be able to interpret。at the same time、Through the different cultural backgrounds and ideas of the photographer、Exploring differences in the interpretation of social topics from the photographer's personal perspective under direct photography、Gain a more comprehensive and diverse understanding and understanding of the world。Society and self-awareness、This is also a visual solution for cross-cultural communication provided by photography。 Tang Haowu
