"Sense-SenSe-" is an e-book photo collection that is issued irregularly.
We will issue and publish various themes every month.
Issue 3 is the theme "WORD and PHOTOGRAPHY".
Photographer: Introduction of works produced by Shunya Asami since 2004.
He is pursuing a relationship between words and pictures
Through "KANKAKU-SenSe-", I would like to make it a platform to think about new expression methods of photo, how to enjoy and how to distribute.
Born in Katsushika, Tokyo in 1982,
The concept of my works is “Time and Memory” and also ”The relationship between
absence and emerging. ”Photogram is the way for me to represent them.(Photogram is the
way to taking photos without camera.)I place materials directly on photosensitive paper and
burn it with sunlight to take pictures. I think that sunburn obtained when going out to swim is
one of the most physical pictures.
I have been creating works on the theme of memory and time until 2004.I am a
photographer working on a variety of projects, workshops and educational activities. I have
already had some exhibitions in New York and several art museums in Japan.
My theme is to pursue the possibility of art, "What can art do ? " My experimental
workshops aim at understanding the principles of photography. I hold some kind of
workshops which is "MAN-PRINT " photographing shadow of the whole body by sensititized
paper, "CATCH A SHADOW " feeling shapes and shadow of familiar things , and "ON the
PHOTOS " walking on sequence photographs of the water surface. I started to publish a
collection of photographs privately.
