◼︎About the exhibition "Distant Closeness - The Universe of Ittetsu Matsuoka and Yamanami Kobo"
This exhibition consists of works that photographer Ittetsu Matsuoka has taken 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, Yuki Ino, Yuya Ohji, and NANA. By receiving Matsuoka's photographs and adding drawings, the artists "responded" and carved their works, creating a dialogue like an exchange of letters between photography and painting.

What emerges when these artists, who express themselves through different genres and methods, interact with each other's works is trust and dialogue that transcends words. As the world captured by Matsuoka's lens and the world seen through the artists' eyes intersect, new works are born, and fundamental questions of "seeing," "connecting," and "existing" emerge.
