"Death is always on the way, but the fact that you don't know when it will arrive seems to take away from the finiteness of life. It's that terrible precision that we hate so much. But because we don't know, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless."
— Paul Bowles (The Sheltering Sky)

有野永露 虚実空間 – 都市

Posted: 8月 4th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: 写真 | Tags: , , ,

久しぶりに、グッとくる写真集に出会う。

有野永露(ありのえいむ)という人の、この写真集。

この人に「スキマの反対語なに?」と質問したくなった。。。というのが、写真集をみた時の第一印象。

欲しいと思ったけど、すでに絶版していると思うので(多分 エイムプレス社というご自身の会社から自費出版したもの)、手に入れるには古本を探さないといけないはず。
京都・今出川大宮上ルにある喫茶店「逃現郷」の本棚に存在しているので、好きな時に見にいける。
まあ、よしとしよう。

 

「スキマの反対語なに?」というネタを中心に、この人と酒が呑みたいなぁ。
