From ANONYMOUS, 2012, Gelatin Silver Print

Gallery Naruyama is pleased to present ANONYMOUS by photographer Issi Suda. As a photographer we have long admired, Suda has always managed to capture ordinary life in an extraordinary way.


"Once a philosopher said, 'beauty lies in the reflection'. We all know that we are bound to images without questioning if the images are in itself beautiful. I believe that all the images such as advertising, mannequins and superficial statues are fake. They are meant to be seen by people and that is how they maintain their existence. I have mesmerized by this trap, over and over again. The reason why I cannot stop, is because it makes me think as if there's something more than what meets the eye. It is true that such images can take over reality. I believe that there is energy in everything that surrounds us, and it's waiting for a chance to conquer reality once and for all."
