Digital photographs and collages on wood, 88 x 176 cm.

(Exhibition views: “The Wall 2”, La Boîte office, Tokyo)


The photographs composing the panel were all taken in Tokyo streets and digitally assembled. The silhouettes in relief are the attempts to erase urban tags by the residents of the neighborhoods where these images were collected. They compose a triptych of the format of a tatami and also replay the composition of Japanese traditional prints (triple oban). The title is the translation of the word “ghost” in Japanese.
