横山隆平 個展『CITY from the WIND / Carpe Diem』
KANA KAWANISHI PHOTOGRAPHYは、2023年6月3日(土)より横山隆平個展『CITY from the WIND / Carpe Diem』を開催いたします。
写真家として一貫して「都市とは何か」を常に探求しつづける横山隆平は、モノクロフィルムのストリートスナップ写真から作家活動をはじめ、現在は、様々な支持体にあらゆる技法でプリントするだけでなく、スクラップ&ビルドを繰り返し変容し続ける都市の複雑な様相を立体的に体現すべく、印刷したプリントを時には自ら洗ったり傷つけたりもしながら、新たなシリーズを積極的に発表し続けています。
2022年にKANA KAWANISHI GALLERY(清澄白河)で開催した「HOLES and SCARS」に続き、KANA KAWANISHI PHOTOGRAPHY(西麻布)での初個展となる本展では、偶然性と都市風景と光と共にイメージ化した新作〈WIND〉を起点に、ベルリンの壁が着想点のひとつとなった代表作〈WALL〉や、ホラティウスの詩の一節「その日を摘め」にインスピレーションを得た〈CARPE DIEM〉など、複数のシリーズを響かせる展覧会を開催いたします。
常に複数のシリーズを同時並行的に制作する姿は、極めて都市的でもあると言えます。一方向的な拡大や衰退だけでなく、世界中を席巻したコロナ禍を経てさまざまな価値観や生き方の流動性が加速し続ける都市の姿をみつめながら、写真家としての揺るぎないアイデンティに立脚し、表現を更新し続ける横山の新たな側面に、是非ご期待いただけましたら幸いです。

KANA KAWANISHI PHOTOGRAPHY is pleased to present CITY from the WIND / Carpe Diem, a solo exhibition by Ryuhei Yokoyama starting June 3, 2023.
Ryuhei Yokoyama, who has consistently explored “What is a city?” as a photographer, began his career with black and white film street snapshots. While printing on various mediums using various techniques, at times, he also washes and damages the prints himself to diversely embody the complex aspects of the city that continues to change.
Following “Holes and Scars” at KANA KAWANISHI GALLERY (Kiyosumi Shirakawa) in 2022, this exhibition, his first solo show at KANA KAWANISHI PHOTOGRAPHY (Nishiazabu), will feature several series together to resonate with each other. With his new work WIND, which puts coincidence and urban landscape into an image with light as a starting point, it will also feature WALL, Yokoyama’s representative series inspired by the Berlin Wall, and CARPE DIEM inspired by a line from a poem by Horatius, “Seize the day.”
The artist’s constant, simultaneous production of multiple series can be described as an urban attitude itself.
Continuously renewing his expression based on his identity as a photographer who follows cityscape, we cordially invite all to this exhibition that explores the accelerating fluidity of the city.
