On January 22, 2013, the photo exhibition “5” will premier at Daikanyama Tsutaya in the #2 gallery space on the first floor. The exhibition features selections from Gentaro Ishizuka’s “Gold Rush Alaska Chilkoot Trail” and Masaru Tatsuki’s “Is the blood still red? 2011.11.19-20″, both of which were first exhibited at SLANT in 2012.
With creative, individual styles, these two artists face the world head-on to introduce the unique locations where they are active. What we see are images from two completely different worlds that reveal the surprisingly tranquil reality of life and death. By experiencing these two representative collections together from the artists – two artists who are at once in contrast and yet unmistakably cut from the same vein – we are given a rare insight into the endless possibility of photographic expression. Photographs from the two series have also been published together to form the tabloid-sized magazine “5”, which is available for sale.

他に類を見ない独創的な作風によって活躍の場を広げるこの2人の写真家は、ともに人間や生物そして自然界の営みに対して真摯に向き合い、それぞれが全く異なる視点で我々の観たことのない生や死の姿を、驚くような静謐さをもって浮彫りにしてきました。この、対照的ながら一つの軸線上で繋がるだろう2人の代表的なシリーズを同時にご覧頂くことによって、写真表現の尽きない可能性を感じて頂ければ幸いです。また、二つのシリーズを再構築したタブロイド版冊子『5（SLANT刊）』をこの機会に合わせて出版し、会場で販売いたします。
