TREE STONE WATER by Gerry Johansson [SIGNED]

スウェーデン人フォトグラファー、ゲリー・ヨハンソン(Gerry Johansson)の作品集。作者が70年から80年代にかけて日本を訪れ地方都市を旅した際、東京から離れた地方都市でさえ東京の様な都市の発展(mini-Tokyo)に向かっていく様子を見て失望を感じた。その失望感からヨハンソンは、都市化に沸き立つ日本人にフォーカスを当てるのではなく、人々の周りの環境を映し出すことにし、1999年の9月と10月に愛媛県に赴き撮影した。本作はタイトルにもなっている「木・石・水」の3つのパートで構成しまとめた1冊。当時の愛媛県での都市の発展に注目するのではなく、静かに残っているその土地の原風景を映し出している。山奥の渓谷のから生まれ、瀬戸内の海に注ぎ込む生命の力の豊かさが、滑床岩や渓谷の写真から伝わってくる。 

After visiting Japan during the 70’s and 80’s, and after the disappointment to see that even regional cities had been developed to the point where they all resembled a mini-Tokyo, Gerry Johansson (b. 1945, Swedish) decided to focus his creative energy on capturing the environment surrounding the Japanese people, as opposed to the people themselves. He chose not to merely record the bustling modern development of Ehime Prefecture, the core of Shikoku, but to also capture the exceptional natural beauty of the region. He took his camera to the rocks and mountain streams of the Nametoko Valley, deep inside forests teeming with the energy of life, and to the waters of the Seto Inland Sea. The book is divided into three chapters, according to the book’s title. Photographs taken in Ehime Prefecture, Japan, September and October 1999.
