◼︎About "The Universe of Ittetsu Matsuoka and Yamanami Kobo: A Far Closeness" Exhibition
This exhibition consists of works that photographer Ittetsu Matsuoka has collected over many years, as well as new photographs taken during his visit to Yamanami Kobo, a welfare facility in Shiga Prefecture, and collaborative works with artists affiliated with the facility. The participating artists are Rikuo Yoshida, Tomoki Ino, Yuya Oji, and NANA. Artists who received photographs taken by Matsuoka added drawings, creating works in "response," which resulted in a dialogue like a correspondence between photography and painting.

What emerges when these artists, expressing themselves in different genres and methods, touch each other's works is a trust and dialogue that transcends words. As the world captured through 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.
