shashasha

First photobook by Japanese writer Toshiyuki Horie, who captured his everyday views with his own special sense of aesthetics, releasing the shutter of his camera like he would blink an eye.

"Despite time turning into the past instant by instant, looking at photographs, it is not obvious to me if I am really looking at the past, or if I am looking at the present, or if I am looking at the future. I am attacked by a light dizziness, peculiarly, I can feel my mind focusing within this vertigo; a curious sensation, like convalescing from an illness which was not there to begin with."
— from the artist's afterword (translation by shashasha)
