After relaxing at SkiiMa, check out the venue in the gallery space. Looking at the display with an interesting expression, "The use of cloth is very nice. When I stood behind, I saw a shadow, and I thought it was a good thing." Printing a photo on a cloth is your own idea.

 

 

This exhibition was created with luxurious staff, including photographer Kichijomaru Shimamura, who is active in a wide range of fashion magazines and advertisements. I listened to the thoughts and commitments contained in the work.

 

―Please tell me the theme of this exhibition.

 

"I filmed on the theme of 'distance'. I was attracted to the world view of the movie "Camoncamon", which depicts the change in the relationship between my uncle and my nephew, and I want to incorporate that exquisite sense of distance into my work. After consulting with photographers and stylists about the location, I aimed to create a new space where I could blend in with the city and nature. There are many photographs taken from a bird's-eye view from a distance, but we also incorporate a meal scene so that you can feel friendliness like a friend."

Take a look at the photo that you like most.

―Do you have any photos that you particularly like?

 

"It's a piece that seems to have been most absorbed in the world view of Camoncamon, where my presence is moderately harmonized with the moderate fashion sense and the atmosphere of the place. I shot it at Yoyogi Park, "Where did you take this?" I am often asked by acquaintances and fans. I was very happy with that. I think it's because we valued the exquisite sense of distance that we were able to create a new world we've never seen before."

 

―You also like to take pictures with your camera.

 

"I often carry my camera, and at the moment I thought it was now, I dared to look into the finder and take a pasha. I also like beautiful photos, but recently I want to take pictures that make me feel playful. I also work as a model, but in fact I don't like being photographed. It can be used because I take pictures, but sometimes I think too much, so I try to get as little as possible and stand in front of the camera."

ZINE ¥3,300, which contains the works of this exhibition. If you put two books on the back and front, Suzuki's figure will be completed.
Tote bag with a photo printed ¥2,800. Pal koala also seems to be happy with it.
The autograph session was held after the shooting. It was impressive to see each and every one of them talking carefully without stopping their smile.

―Do you often come to Kansai?

 

"When I was a kid, I've been to Univer twice with my family. I've been on stage several times in recent years, but since I've always returned to dragonfly, I don't remember playing in the city. I like used clothes, so I would like to visit Amerikamura some day privately."

 

―What is the image of the Kansai people?

 

"I'm from Tokyo, but for some reason I'm often involved with Kansai people. All the teams working together, both managers and hair makeup, are Kansai. All my university friends are from Kansai, and on the contrary, people in Tokyo may not be close to me (laughs). It's easy to say that Kansai people have a strong tone, but I'm easier to be with people who say Zubazuba. Maybe it's because he's a type of person who can honestly say what he thinks. The relationship between those who do not easily bend their opinions is pleasant."

 

After the interview, the manager said, "We're all going to see Yodogawa fireworks tonight, but if you don't go to it, you can go to a used clothes shop," Suzuki said, "There's only fireworks today, so I definitely want to see fireworks!" It was the moment when I saw a glimpse of the innocent side. Please come back to Osaka slowly!
