Just as Christopher Nolan’s film Inception shocked the world with its unexpected script and analog-driven techniques, I create works that weave together film photography and multiple exposure, where carefully calculated chance gives rise to dreamlike visions. The title Mission embodies both my dream and my calling: to express Nolan’s cinematic worldview through entirely analog methods. The apocalyptic visions born from this process reflect the challenges of contemporary society while also presenting the boundless potential of human imagination. Through this photobook, I invite you to experience the miracle of creation and the journey into unknown worlds.

This photobook features 43 works created using multiple exposure and cross-processing development, shot with the iconic LOMO LC-A series of cameras from Lomography. These works, which embody my signature style, carry a rich narrative as if they were scenes from a film and have a rhythmic flow as though music is emanating from them. The design, which adopts a record jacket size, enhances the charm of the works to the fullest. Not only the images but also the binding is crafted with great care, resulting in a photobook that leaves a powerful impression. These works stimulate both the visual and sensory experience, enriching your daily life with a new perspective.

This zine, Be Water, is inspired by the legendary Hong Kong action star Bruce Lee and his famous words, “Be Water.” Like water—flexible, adaptable, and able to take on any shape—the concept shaped the creation of this work. Shot with a film camera using multiple exposure, Be Water reconstructs real landscapes and transforms them into non-existent scenes, a kind of “visual variation.” For me, multiple exposure is not simply about capturing reality as it is, but about expressing it more freely—an approach to creation that reflects the fluid nature of water itself. The series centers on “Monet’s Pond” in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, known for its clear spring water and swimming koi, and combines it with images from Hong Kong and other locations in Japan and abroad. This layering of places creates a visual journey that drifts freely across the world. The koi swimming through the water appear in these pages as symbols of peace and harmony that transcend borders and cultures. I hope this zine serves as a spark to awaken your sense of freedom and quiet creativity.

Magritte on Film is a visual experiment inspired by the surrealist paintings of Belgian artist René Magritte, created through multiple exposure on film. Surrealism often depicts scenes where dreams and reality intertwine—illogical, paradoxical, and uncanny images. This blurring of boundaries between the ordinary and the extraordinary resonates deeply with the way I approach multiple exposure photography. In the early stages of the series, I referenced symbolic motifs found in Magritte’s paintings, such as bowler hats, wine bottles, and clouds drifting in blue skies. From there, I began combining everyday items like boots and jackets with landscapes, creating new “visual poems” that only photography can bring to life. The title Magritte on Film comes from the question: What if Magritte had chosen film photography as his medium of expression? I invite you to turn the pages of this zine and explore that imagined continuation.
