"SHONAN - Shonan 1984-2006" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Kenji Nakayama (1940-). Nakayama captures landscapes from a perspective rooted in the local area, capturing the lives of people and the memories of the land with a quiet gaze. This book chronicles the atmosphere of Shonan's beaches and towns over an extended period from the 1980s to the 2000s. The monochrome photographs exude a poetic rhythm of light and shadow, and the images of people standing on the beach, playing in the waves, and the light shining on street corners transcend mere landscapes, evoking a sense of layers of time. The images capture everyday yet universal human activities, overlapping personal memories and social landscapes. Each photograph seems to speak quietly, linking the unique expressions of Shonan with the records of its people, creating a book that evokes both nostalgia and discovery in the viewer.
