Kousuke Shimasaki
Born in Kochi Prefecture, Japan in 1997. Currently based in Tokyo and Kochi. My work focuses on the theme of "the circulation of immaterial entities," and through photography I express the fluidity of "time," "space," and "spirit," which cannot be seen directly by the eye. On the day my beloved dog passed away, I encountered a single white rose blooming on the balcony of my parents' house, which sparked my strong interest in animism, and I began to create works with themes of "reverence for nature" and "the transience of life." I always strive to sensitively capture the relationship between nature and humans, and to portray the invisible power and energy that resides within it in a poetic and tranquil visual language.
