Kazumi Kurigami
Ever since 1965 when he began his career as an independent photographer, Kazumi Kurigami, in addition to his past 46 years of work at the forefront of advertising photography and commercials, separately has also released publications in which he has photographed, without restrictions on a specific theme, the physical objects which inspired him directly (“Hi To Hone,” 1984 and “Diary,” 2005). Kurigami states that what is important when photographing is to possess a physicality and instinct which is separate from those of others, and to respond instantly to this sensation. Such publications produced through the act of photographing with the aim of sharpening one’s sensation in sympathizing and reflecting upon the subject could be seen as the essence of Kurigami’s condensed aesthetic conscious.

Within “Hi To Hone II” 120 works photographed and collected by Kurigami using the Polaroid SX-70 between 1972 and 2011 will be presented. This is an opportunity to view Kurigami’s series of experimental works spanning a period of 39 years, portraying the stimulation of his structural aesthesis through the sense of unrealness distinct to that of the Polaroid.
