Trimming series

This photographic series is created using the still-image function of a handheld video camera.
During the act of photographing, the world seen with the naked eye and the world appearing on the video camera's monitor coexist within the same time and space, yet possess distinctly different textures. By moving continuously between these two modes of seeing, familiar landscapes and people begin to reveal aspects that remain unnoticed through direct vision alone.

The photographs are captured using the still-image function of a compact video camera. Preserving the characteristic grain, resolution, and visual qualities unique to video cameras, the images are converted into monochrome and printed, producing a material texture that belongs neither entirely to photography nor to video. By removing color, the work quietly emphasizes the relationships between light, distance, space, and the presence of its subjects.

The focus of this series is not the photographic or video medium itself. Rather, through the act of photographing, it observes a condition in which multiple ways of seeing coexist within a single reality, asking how we perceive the world before us and what allows something to be recognized as an existence.
