This photo series, called "A dream play", is about the landscapes and sceneries where I
have spent my youth.Although the place is not so changed for long time,It seems very
familiar, but at the same time very uncanny to me.
I look at the landscape and the landscape looks back at me, I grasp the scenery with my
camera. Only later, I find out hidden images that I had not noticed before. The photos seem
like a picture puzzle that is always showing something, and at the same time hiding something.
When we look at something, our brain automatically finds familiar images, more than unfamiliar.
That is the usual way of recognizing the world around us. We do not recognize totally unfamiliar
things, like monsters, for instance. When a piece of cloth is sticking out of a closed drawer,
it looks like a tongue. Is that really just my imagination? I am not sure. As long as the drawer
is closed, the cloth can be anything, even a real tongue.
