作品介紹：
本展展出作品是《自然史》，這是拍攝受大自然影響產生變化的系列作品，由此系列中挑選日本東北太平洋沿岸及福島歸還困難區的攝影作品。
《自然史》的構思與攝影始於2010 年秋天，捕捉的是我們所認知「大自然」的一切，不過是人為的影響滲透之下，逐漸改變後形成的樣貌。然而在2011 年東日本大震災後突顯出的問題是：何謂 「自然」，但此問題已超越我們的理解範圍。這絕非以超然的角度來看待自然，因為我們所處的現狀，是在這所謂近代的時代中面對不斷重演的歷史，這暗示著全球正朝向一個均質性的瓦解狀態邁進。作品的年表是按照時序排列事件，並可窺見東北地區不斷上演的歷史與福島核能第一發電廠在短短幾天內我們熟悉的日常瞬間驟變。
「同時，我們不能忘記的是，此處是我們之所在。我們佇足停留且在此營生，這是我
們對抗造成此事態萬禍根源的據點，也是希望的憑依」。露口如此敘述。

Work Statement:
The works featured in this exhibition show the long Pacific coast in the Tohoku region and Difficult-to-Return Zone of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant accident, selected from the series of Natural History, which depicts places that have changed under the influences of nature.
The conceptualization and execution of Natural History began in fall 2010. At first, the original purpose was to photograph and present sceneries we were used to call “nature,” which had really been exposed to and altered by human forces. However, the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 further highlighted the question of “what exactly is nature” that was already beyond our comprehension. Nature is not an existence of transcendence, and what we are facing is historical phenomena constantly repeating themselves in this “modern” age; this
also implies that the world is headed towards a homogenous collapse. The related “timelines” of the works list events in chronological order, through which we can see the repeated history of the Tohoku region, as well as the phenomenon of daily life changing drastically within a few days after the accident of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
“At the same time, we cannot forget that this is undoubtedly our place,” said Tsuyuguchi. “Staying behind to live here symbolizes that this is a stronghold, which launches resistance against the reasons that have caused our current situation; also, it is the base of our hope.”
Biography:
Born in 1950 in Tokushima, Japan and currently based in Kagawa, Japan.
In the late 1990s, Tsuyuguchi began to create photographic works that focused on
places and history. He has published works of the Place Names series, which depicts
the birthplace of the Ainu language in Hokkaido, in solo exhibition “Place Names” (Light Works, Yokohama) in 2002, “Black Out: Contemporary Japanese Photography” (Paris/ Rome/ Tokyo) in 2002, and “Non-Sect Radical – Contemporary Photography” (Yokohama Museum of Art) in 2004. In 2011, Tsuyuguchi began to create the Natural History series, photographing places that have changed under the influences of nature.
More recent exhibitions include the “Sapporo International Art Festival” (Sapporo)
in 2014, “ Uncertain Landscape” (Azamino Contemporary, Yokohama) in 2018, and“ Michikusa: Walks with the Unknown” (Art Center Mito Contemporary Art Gallery, Mito ) in 2020.
