Actor/Exclusive model Hitoshi Suzuki and Shinsaibashi PARCO Cruise! I asked you about your thoughts on PHOTO EXHIBITION and your impression of Osaka.

Hitoshi Suzuki, an actor who is also active as an exclusive model of "Men'snonno", focusing on dramas, movies, and stages. His second solo exhibition "JIN SUZUKI PHOTO EXHIBITION ZJINE/_side" will be held at the SkiiMa Gallery on the 4th floor of Shinsaibashi PARCO from August 4th (Fri) to 16th (Wed). On Saturday, August 5 and 6 (Sun), a signing session was held with Mr. Suzuki. While traveling around the museum with him who came to Osaka, we asked about his thoughts on creating works and his impressions of Osaka.

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, the shadows could be seen through, and I thought it would be nice." It's your own idea to print the photo on the cloth.

 

 

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

 

―What is the theme of this solo exhibition?

 

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

Suzuki stares at the photo that he likes most.

―Do you have any particular photos you like?

 

"It's a piece that seems to have been most absorbed in the world view of 'Kamon Camon', where my existence is in harmony with the moderate fashion feeling and the atmosphere of the place. I took a picture at Yoyogi Park, but "Where did you take this?" I'm often asked by acquaintances and fans. I was very happy about that. I think we were able to create a new world that we had never seen because we valued the exquisite sense of distance."

 

―I hear you like to take pictures with a camera.

 

"I often carry my camera around, and at the moment I think it's now, I'm taking pictures of it without dare peeing the finder. I also like beautiful photos, but recently I'd like to take pictures that feel playful. I also work as a model, but in fact I'm not good at taking pictures. I sometimes use it because I'm taking pictures, but on the other hand, I sometimes think too much, so I try to shake off my thoughts as much as possible and stand in front of the camera."

ZINE¥3,300, which contains the works of this exhibition. If you arrange two books on the back and front, Suzuki's figure will be completed.
A tote bag with a photo printed ¥2,800. Pal koala was so happy that it fits completely.
An autograph session held after shooting. It was impressive to see how they talked carefully each one without losing their smile.

―Do you often come to Kansai?

 

"When I was a child, I went to Univer twice with my family. I've been here several times for work on the stage for the past few years, but since I always return to dragonfly, I have little memory of playing around the city. I like used clothes, so I would like to visit the American village someday in a private way."

 

―What is the image of Kansai people like?

 

"I'm from Tokyo, but for some reason I'm involved with Kansai people. Both the manager and the hair and makeup team are all Kansai people who work together. All my university friends are from Kansai, and on the other hand, people from Tokyo may not be close to me (laughs). It's often said that Kansai people have a strong tone, but it's easier to stay with someone who says Zubazuba. It may be because it's a type that says what you think honestly. It's pleasant to have a relationship where people who can't easily bend their opinions can cross each other equally."

 

After the interview, the manager said, "We're going to see Yodogawa fireworks today, but if you don't go to it, you can go to a used clothes shop," said Suzuki, "Fireworks are only today, so I definitely want to see fireworks! " It was the moment I could get a glimpse of the innocent side. Please come and visit Osaka again!
