Groceries Portraits

2019-

Archival pigment print and found shopping list; receipt on verso

Groceries Portraits are based on shopping lists that I find on the street in my everyday travel throughout the city. I shop for the groceries that appear on the lists, and photograph them as portraits of unknown persons. The resulting photographs are shown alongside the original shopping lists and reflect the cultures and personalities of the diverse inhabitants and communities in the city.

Archival pigment print、拾った買い物リスト、レシート

道で拾った誰かの書いた買い物リストを元に、付近のスーパーマーケットで、リストに書かれたものを購入していく作品。購入した商品は、リストを書いた見知らぬ他者の生活や近辺のコミュニティの文化が垣間見えるポートレート写真として、まとめて一枚の写真に収める。
