Collecting Summers

MYR 172.00

In 1999—feeling stagnant in both his career and life at 39—Koji Onaka stopped photographing in black and white and embraced colour film. Liberated from the seriousness of his earlier medium, Onaka began seeing things in a new light, feeling at ease whenever he clicked the shutter. With a renewed sense, Onaka soon began travelling to various places across Japan with a bag filled with rolls of colour film.

Eighteen years later, while sitting in his air-conditioned darkroom, Onaka longs to revisit the photographs he took when colour film was still fresh to him. 'Collecting Summers' compiles these photographs from his travels across Ashibetsu, Utashinai (Hokkaido); Kanita (Aomori), Kakunodate (Akita); Sanjo (Niigata); Iwai, Awakatsuyama, Onjuku (Chiba); Jogashima (Kanagawa); Saijo (Ehime); Katsurahama (Kochi); Suo-oshima (Yamaguchi); Fukue (Nagasaki); and Naha (Okinawa)
