それは、ひとつの問いのはじまり。
フレームの外側まで続く、溢れる景色を捉えることとは。
流れる音や香り、ひやりとした感覚や温かみを手に取るように感じることとは。
建築と自然が合わさり、美しい風景になることとは。
私たちは常に目の前の空間に問いを投げかけ、
映像、写真を通して、記録ではなく風景をつくることを試みます。
It begins from a question.
What does it mean to capture the overflowing scenery that extends beyond the frame?
What is it to feel the flowing sounds, scents, chilliness, and warmth as if you were holding them in your hands?
What does it mean to combine architecture and nature to create a beautiful landscape?
We are always asking questions about the space in front of us, and
through video and photography, we attempt to create a landscape rather than a record.
「建築と自然」を軸とした映像・写真製作を手掛けるクリエイターチーム。建築を学んだ背景を持つ2人が、場を丁寧に読み取りながら写真と映像を一度に撮影。撮影〜編集を一貫して行うことで、場の纏う魅力をありのままに伝える制作を行います。降り注ぐ刻一刻と変わる光と影、生活の何気ないシーン、森の中で静かに落ちる一枚の葉、風の抜ける大自然の広がり。大きな視点と小さな視点を有機的に行き来しながら、建築にも自然にもある些細な移ろいを繊細に扱い、その空間の魅力「とは」を常に問いながら撮影に挑みます。
A team of creators involved in video and photo production based on “architecture and nature”. With a background in architecture, the two of us shoot photos and videos at the same time while carefully reading the place. By performing the entire process from shooting to editing, we are able to convey the charm of the place as it is. The ever-changing light and shadows, the casual scenes of daily life, a leaf falling quietly in the forest, the expanse of nature through which the wind blows. Moving back and forth organically between large and small perspectives, we delicately handle the subtle changes that occur in both architecture and nature, and challenge ourselves to take photographs while always questioning the appeal of the space.
