In my first film photobook, the time and space of everyone’s solitude is a parallel universe, and my universe is codenamed ‘Raku-en A’. It is not really a paradise, but is filled with the past tense of a world that is a bit messy and decayed. These old traces of disorder and chaos are like residue filtered out by time. But above the ruins, there is always absurd vitality and secret happiness. I am temporarily saving the ‘Raku-en A’ with me, just like I am temporarily residing on earth.
