I would like to make a picture book out of photographs one day. For a long time, I have wanted to make picture books out of photographs.
And when I encountered the atypical body of Akaji Maro some ten years ago, my desire was confirmed.
I was astonished to discover how transparent, flexible and full of frenzy his body was.
A picture book does not mean that there is a plot.
Rather, it is a journey of recklessness, a search for everything and anything, and you can't even imagine what is going to happen.
My only hope is my body, and the only thing I can rely on is what is possible when it comes into contact with a landscape.
How many times have I laughed bitterly at the thought of the moron's insect madness, catching the fragments of my dreams dancing in the winds of the infinite wilderness, shutting them up in glass jars and letting them escape, and then shutting them up and letting them escape.
From the Afterword
