Taiji MATSUE

Publisher: Akaaka Art Publishing

Featuring his two series “gazetteer” and “CC”, Taiji Matsue’s photobook presents photographs of deserts, forests, mountains and plains as well as large cities from around the world, shot in a peculiar, highly flat style that eliminates shadows, skies, horizons to produce a rich tapestry of features and details.

“‘Excess of photography’ is not a reference to the world's inundation with an overabundance of photographs. It means that a human being cannot look at a photograph and see it all at once in its entirety. This is because when we see a photograph, the act of looking inevitably casts a shadow on it, inevitably generating an invisible blind spot. In capturing sweeping views of cities and nature from high above, Taiji Matsue's photographs remind us of the impossibility of a true panoramic view. By doing so, they open up photography to the wealth of details as yet unseen.”
― from Minoru Shimizu’s essay “Excess of Photography”
