Photographs show us the "somewhere once upon a time" in the "here and now." Facing a mirror and looking at oneself, one thinks of the beings that are important to oneself. Through the "Mirror Portrait," a series of photograph taken from inside the mirror, we become aware of the linkages that transcend time and space, such as the presence of someone who is not here, or a distant place. I would like the audience to feel this sensation as well.
——Risaku Suzuki
Suzuki exhibited his video work 1868 in the Konpon Chudo Hall of Kan’ei-ji Temple for the "Tokyo Biennale 2023 Beginning Exhibition" in 2022. This work was inspired by the “Ueno War” at the end of the Edo period and the relationship between the last shogun, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, and the temple. This year, while continuing the experience of connecting "once upon a time" and "now" as the theme, he will produce and present a new attempt of the portrait photography series "Mirror Portrait" that he has been working on since 2016.
