RYUJI TOKUDA

The work is characterized by the fact that the artist mixes multiple photographs until he is satisfied with the result, creating a new world. By mixing, each photograph is distorted, split, inverted, or even increased. Unlike so-called composite photographs or collages, this work is similar to the act of mixing paints. Each photograph is like a painting, and by mixing them on the canvas, they are intricately intertwined into a new photographic expression.

What is your most precious possession? How has it affected your life? With the theme of "what constitutes me," "comprise" is a work that depicts a person's portrait using photographs of objects that are important to the person, such as treasured possessions and memorabilia. This work, which uses the technique of his own work "marble," mixes multiple photographs to create a picture. By depicting a person's life through the colors of objects, this work allows the viewer to get to know the person more deeply from a different angle.
