Koseki Yuta, a young notable actor, has decided to release the third photo book "Kiitos! -Yuta Koseki in Finland-photo by Jun Imajo"! Ozeki started performing arts activities at the age of 8 and has been running as an actor and an artist, but this year when he turned 24, he jumped out of Tokyo, where he had no time to breathe, in order to broaden his range of expression in his own way. I went on a "journey to find the original affluence" that I can't feel in my daily life.
The destination is Finland, which is ranked high in the world happiness ranking and where nature and design take root in daily life.
It is a book that pays attention to Ozeki, whose facial expressions are enriched and changed by entrusting himself to the Finnish people, culture, nature and design during the five-day trip.
And it's wonderful because Ozeki wants to not only summarize this trip as a simple photo book, but also to feel something for those who pick it up and make it a work that will remain on hand or on the bookshelf forever. I made it with the creators.
Jun Imajo, a popular photographer with a transparent and gentle light, is a photographer. Mr. Shohei Yoshida, a designer who works on books and magazines such as "POPEYE", was in charge of the art direction of the photo book.
Furthermore, in commemoration of the release of the photobook and DVD, we will hold a photo exhibition of photographs taken by Jun Imajo and a photo exhibition of photographs taken by Ozeki himself at the same time. Koseki Yuta, who is a regular user of cameras, will exhibit and produce the photographs taken by Yuta Koseki as "photographer Koseki Yuta" for the first time.
We are planning a photo exhibition where you can experience the scenery and atmosphere of Finland as seen from Ozeki, and the venue is the closed school, where creators and designers use it as a base for making works. It will be done at the gallery inside.
The title of the photobook, Kiitos! [Kiitos], means "thank you" in Finnish, and Ozeki expresses gratitude to all the people I met and supported in Finland. Attached. I would like you to take that "thank you" feeling and come and feel it.
On my 24th birthday, I spent my time making works in Finland, which I longed for. It took me one courage to meet my admiration, but Finland was a place that made me want to come again.
There were so many reasons to make me want to come again this time, but it was difficult (laughs). Among them, the one I couldn't give up was the event at the lake. There was a lake outside the sauna hut I went to.
After jumping into the lake with my hot body, I lay down on Watahashi, closed my eyes and met, and I couldn't forget the experience. Light, the murmuring of trees, the singing of birds, the sound of water, the playing voice of children. I wanted to come back here. In Finland, I was taught the true meaning of "deep breathing". I'm currently working on making this "deep breath" into something that can be seen and shaped.
I'm planning to show this "deep breath" with the camera that I've been traveling with since I was a high school student in the "Photo Space Exhibition", so please look forward to it !!
