Bamboo Forest

Takeo Hirose was born in Kyoto, 1962. He started studying photography in earnest in 2011 when Japan suffered from the huge earthquake disaster. Through the earthquake he understood that the beautiful sceneries are not eternal but actually very fragile, and noticed the importance of taking photos of the Japanese beauty. His production concept is to express the world of traditional Japanese paintings and ink paintings with modern Japanese sensibility and the photo technology. For the past few years he has produced the works with a motif of bamboo, which can be associated with Japan.

A Wugang Documentary

Behind Glory

This is a photographic documentary of Wugang, the Wuhan Iron and Steel Company. Supported by the Russian and built in 1958, the state-owned Wugang is one of the biggest steel factories in China and once signified the industrialization and modernization of the country. However, such industry causes severe environmental pollution. Through capturing the heavily polluted Wugang campus with somber images, this project reveals the price paid and the consequence behind the glory of modernization and economic prosperity, provoking the viewers into the search of a clean and healthy environment.

Photo Series

Pass On

Pass On is a photographic series built around the image of a message sealed inside a bottle. Each photograph is inspired by a single word, such as hope or fraternity, and represents that word through its meaning or through a real event. The same three elements, a message, a bottle and water, appear in every image, yet each theme is treated in a different way. Sets, special aquariums and specific mechanisms were built for the pictures. The digital images combine interference and image fusion, and are printed with inkjet on cotton paper.

Colors and Lines

Colors & Lines is inspired by the primary colors - Red, Yellow, Blue which used to appear in painting and design. It is a collection that blur between painting and photography, transcending the ordinary between the state of dream and reality. The strong colors visual moves the vision of the world to colors, lines, contrast, geometry and abstraction, seeing the ordinary in extraordinary.

Waves Entropy

Who has never given a moment listening to the waves of the sea? Waves is a work that tries to give sense to the story of himself and his inner life. In its elaboration the artist has experimented with different techniques. Starting from the picture of an ocean wave and by doing a physical formalized a visual entropy equation, simplifying and subtracting elements has got a sort of X-ray. Thanks to this close-up perspective, marta moretto tells of a world populated by a particular kind of bestiary, that probably every one of you have already met in his dreams. They identified someone?
