Tamotsu Kido
Born in 1974, Tamotsu Kido entered the oil painting department at Aichi Prefectural University of the Arts but was self-taught in photography from that time, exploring techniques that involve using gelatin silver prints to symmetrically capture the shapes and shadows of landscapes and animals. Later, in order to capture the beauty hidden in everyday life more intimately, he mainly photographed landscapes in suburban cities and residential areas.
What characterizes Kido's work is his focus on capturing chaotic scenes, such as houses with peeling paint, posters, or rusted drums, and abandoned cars that have become storage sheds. While these scenes are often ignored, Kido skillfully brings out the "beauty" within them, replacing them with a new perspective on landscapes.
Kido's landscapes, as captured through his perspective, can be interpreted as abstract expressions, despite depicting concrete subjects. The exquisite harmony of color and form provides viewers with room for interpretation. Kido not only captures the essence of objects through photography but also combines them with light to present a new perspective, expressing the richness of the world we often overlook. With his unique perspective and technique, his work maximizes the potential that photography holds.
