Masahiro Kodaira "videre videor II"

amanaTIGP is pleased to present Masahiro Kodaira's solo exhibition "videre videor II" from July 15 to August 12. This body of work serves as a sequel to the "videre videor I" series, which was exhibited from April to June this year in "The Actuality of Film Photography" exhibition at Tokyo Art Museum.
Kodaira, while taking photographs according to his own intuition, has constantly reflected on how he perceives his subjects and what compels him to capture them through the lens of his camera. 
This series is also the first to include works in which the shooting range has been narrowed down to pinpoint mere fragments of the human body. For Kodaira, who has focused on the unconscious as a means of contemplating the relationship between the self and the world, approaching the 'human being' as a subject also demonstrates an attempt to facilitate an amalgamation with 'society' and the 'hidden consciousness' captured in his previous work "I am that I am." This exhibition, which marks the artist's third solo show at the gallery, and his first in five years, will feature 11 works from his series photographed since 2014.
