EXHIBITIONの天明屋尚個展「形質転換」を参照。

写真家・リチャード・プリンスは他人のインスタグラムを無断で写真作品としシリーズで発表、物議を醸した。トーマス・ルフはインターネット上のポルノサイトより無駄で抜粋したデータをぼかし、自身の作品として発表。既存の画像を流用・加工・編集するという試みや、カメラすら使わない試みが現代では写真作品(現代美術作品)として成立している。そのような事を踏まえ、私の3連作は現代美術家・松蔭浩之氏に撮影された私のポートレートを、スマホアプリBeautyPlusの二次元カメラで変換を試みた作品。

A photographer, Richard Prince once produced his controversial photo works. He presented another person's Instagram as his photographic works without their permissions.

Thomas Ruff also presented his controversial works. He blurred the data extracted from the porn site on the Internet and announced it as his own photographic works.

Thus nowadays some contemporary artists challenge a new style of photo works, diverting, processing, and editing existing images. Some photo works was created even without using a camera.

Based on such a trend, I also challenged a new style of photo works and presented a three-series photo work. For this work, I asked a contemporary photographer artist, Hiroyuki Matsukage to take my portrait photo.

Then I converted the photo thorough the two-dimensional camera function of a smartphone app BeautyPlus.
