what i know | Ittetsu Matsuoka | Therme books 2023

"This publication features works from the exhibition “what i know,” held in 2023 at Taka Ishii Gallery Photography / Film.

Alongside his work in commercial photography - particularly in portraiture and fashion - Matsuoka has consistently produced photographic works that capture everyday scenes, people, and plants encountered in daily life. Characterized by the unique qualities of analog photography, his images embrace soft colors, blur, and out-of-focus elements, creating a gentle, dreamlike tone that slightly distances them from reality while allowing all subjects within the frame to emerge as equally present." - From publisher's statement
