Limited edition of 600 copies / numbered & hand-signed Occasions at which people ask me about my photographs have been increasing lately. On the fundamental question, ?Why landscapes?? I can?t offer more than a lighthearted answer referring to my desire to work outside, my hobby of traveling, and the fact that a landscape is for me the ideal environment for relaxed working without being disturbed. Even the rather essential question, ?Why infrastructure?? I casually answer by explaining that this is something that can be found anywhere and addressed at any time ? a silent object that allows for one-sided interpretation. Well I must have had some serious ideas back when I started working in photography. Ideas about the originality of my works; about indirect ways of expression (of human behavior); about the country I?m living in, etc. But now that I think about it, I know that the guy who was considering such things more than 30 years ago is still right here behind me. -from Toshio Shibata" Concrete Abstraction"Afterword- Book Size A4 variant format Pages 112 pages, 88 images Printing Hard Cover cloth binding & slipcase Publication Date 2015 Publisher Akio Nagasawa Publishing
