◼︎About the exhibition "Distant Proximity - The Universe of Ittetsu Matsuoka and Yamanami Kobo"
This exhibition consists of works that photographer Ittetsu Matsuoka has compiled over many years, new photographs taken during his visit to Yamanami Kobo, a welfare facility in Shiga Prefecture, and collaborative works with artists affiliated with the same facility. The participating artists are Rikuto Yoshida, Yuki Ino, Yuya Oji, and NANA. By receiving photographs taken by Matsuoka and adding drawings to them, the artists "respond" by inscribing their works, creating a dialogue between photography and painting like a back-and-forth correspondence.

What emerges when these artists, expressing themselves in different genres and methods, interact with each other's works is a 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.
