4月14日(木)- 30日(土)

 

この度GALLERY TARGETではフォトグラファー、新田桂一の個展を開催いたします。

 

時代のポップアイコンを被写体にファッションやアート、広告に至るまでファッショナブルでパッショナブルなフォトグラファー。

小さい頃から宇宙への憧れを持ち、望遠鏡でよく天体観察をしていたという新田桂一。

かつてはUFOを目撃した事もあり、その興味は現在まで続いています。

 

本展では「レプティリアンがフォトグラファーになったらどんな写真ができるのか?」というテーマを掲げ、新作を発表いたします。

新田がこれまでに発表してきた自らが世界的著名人に変装し撮影するセルフポートレイトプロジェクト「100K」と東京を代表するスタイルフリーな人々を撮った「PORTRAIT」シリーズの進化系という位置づけとなり、新たなスタイルを構築。

 

IPC(国際パラリンピック委員会) x WOWOWのドキュメンタリーシリーズ制作の為に、アートディレクター川上智也氏と数年間に渡り世界各国を旅する間にコンセプトが固まり、後に作品へと昇華させたという本シリーズ。

地球を旅する道中、宇宙へと思いを馳せた新田桂一がレプティリアンとなり新作をお披露目します。

 

レプティリアンが撮った写真、是非一緒に宇宙へ行きましょう。

皆様のご来廊をお待ちしております。

“cosmiCCentury” by Keiichi Nitta

April 14th (thur) - 30th (sat)

 

GALLERY TARGET is pleased to present a solo exhibition by photographer Keiichi Nitta.

 

Fashionable and passion-able photographer, who shoots pop icons of the times, from fashion and art to advertising.

Nitta has had a longing for space since he was a child and often used a telescope to observe celestial bodies. He once even witnessed a UFO, an interest that continues to this day.

 

"What kind of photographs would Reptilians create if they became photographers?"

Answer to this question will be presented at “cosmiCCentury" through Nitta’s new body of works. It is positioned as an evolution of Nitta's previously exhibited self-portrait project '100K', in which he disguises himself as a world-famous person and photographs himself, and the 'PORTRAIT' series, in which he photographs Tokyo's leading style-free people.

 

The concept for this series was developed during several years of traveling around the world with art director Mr. Tomoya Kawakami for the production of the IPC (International Paralympic Committee) and WOWOW documentary series, and was later sublimated into a work of art. In this exhibition, you can witness Keiichi Nitta, who had thoughts of the universe on his journey around the Earth, becomes a Reptilian and unveils his new works.

 

Photographs taken by Reptilians, come and join us for the journey to the universe.

We look forward to seeing you all at the gallery.
