Masahiro Kodaira
“The Wholly Other,” Masahiro Kodaira’s first solo exhibition at Taka Ishii Gallery, features approximately 14 photographic works. Kodaira uses the snapshot technique to eliminate preconceived and rational notions that result from working with set motifs or themes. His works are neither landscapes nor memoirs, but responses to “fundamental mysteries, fears, and deep desires that we feel as living beings but cannot register consciously in everyday social life,” he explains.

Looking consciously at photographs that capture sporadically existing elements means encountering the conscious and unconscious, leading to a search for something more than coincidence. In preparing this two-venue exhibition, Kodaira has organized his works into elements of light and dark, which he responds to intuitively in photography. In doing so, he reconsiders and reorganizes “the wholly other” in terms of these two categories. This exhibition is thus a culmination of his career to date.
