◼︎About the Exhibition "Distant Closeness" -The Universe of Ittetsu Matsuoka and Yamanami Kobo-
This exhibition consists of works that photographer Ittetsu Matsuoka has collected over many years, as well as new photographs taken during his visit to the welfare facility "Yamanami Kobo" in Shiga Prefecture, and collaborative works with artists affiliated with the facility. The participating artists are Rikuo Yoshida, Tomoki Ino, Yuya Oji, and NANA. The artists, having received the photographs taken by Matsuoka, layered their drawings and inscribed their works as a "response," creating a dialogue like an exchange of letters between photography and painting.

The interaction between artists who express themselves in different genres and methods creates a trust and dialogue that transcends words. The world captured through Matsuoka's lens and the world seen through the artists' eyes intersect, giving birth to new works and raising fundamental questions about "seeing," "connecting," and "existing."
