◼︎About the exhibition “Distant Closeness”—The Universe of Ittetsu Matsuoka and Yamanami Kobo—
This exhibition features photographer Ittetsu Matsuoka's long-accumulated works, new photographs taken during his visit to Yamanami Kobo, a welfare facility in Shiga Prefecture, and collaborative creations with artists affiliated with the same facility. The participating artists are Rikuo Yoshida, Tomoki Ino, Yuya Oji, and NANA. After receiving photographs taken by Matsuoka, the artists added drawings and created works as a "response," generating a dialogue between photography and painting, much like an exchange of letters.

When these artists, who express themselves through different genres and methods, interact with each other's works, a trust and dialogue that transcends words emerges. The world captured by 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."
