Shibuya culture PROJECT

A look at the video that recently, there was that thought-provoking whiff as the "artist" is the difference between "professional writer". Talk of a documentary video that followed the fish shop in Hiroshima, youth becomes a fishmonger following in the footsteps of his father, sell the fish in the car to the old man who can not Dearuke far. Budget, theme's 25-minute TV program a lot of constraints, etc.. But such a remaining of the many constraints jumped the last in my impression, scared and trendy young man not to touch the fish, old men of contrast to the fish from his crooked look forward to the waist. In the way that young people can work back to the local in the U-turn, the existing image that I want to tell the Quirky charm, the intention of the director who does not know even the name has been transmitted. So far I've been selected with the author's name when you "work appreciation" is also in the exhibition is also in the movie. But, and making flexible "work" of the artist, occupation writers handicapped or wonder What is the difference between "I think" to put in "thing" making.

This time, from the exhibition being held in Shibuya, even while being subjected to various constraints, the two pick up the exhibition, which took up the profession artists who produce works that shining and sparkling. Photographer and a press photographer, painter and illustrator, while imagining each of the differences, I want to feel the depth of "making things".

Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photographyでは、7月5日まで、戦前〜戦後にかけて活躍した報道カメラマンに迫る企画展"Press photographer Story"It has held.

Such as photographs, which were taken to climb to the "tower of the East," the height of 312 meters is called the topic, I began to lead the era as a staff photographer with the autonomy with Daitaba's et al. In the success of Funayama's, the Asahi that young people that wish to publish photos section is flooded.
In the museum, five press photographers, including them, including each of the masterpiece that became a scoop, exhibit 216 points, including the documentation.
