A Creative Reconstruction: Vision Formulation 2, 6th Session

For the sixth session of Vision Formulation 2, we were happy to welcome photographer Naoya Hatakeyama to present a lecture for us about his own experience after the earthquake and his photography work. He told us that he tries to address the question of where the boundary between truth and lies exists, using the medium of photography to face this. He said that the most intrinsic aspect of working in photography is examining problems of reality, and he wants to share the feelings of being unsettled and uncomfortable that we all experience, through his photographs. It was very clear that his works lie side by side with his own experiences. His lecture provoked questions that resonate in our daily lives, and the students who attended seemed to be given a lot of food for thought. (Hashimoto)
