"Criteria" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Fusako Kodama (1945-). Having studied at Kuwasawa Design School, Kodama has quietly observed the human presence floating around urban facilities and installations. Drawing on the precision of observation cultivated in advertising and editing, her work is characterized by her calm approach to capturing the subtle tensions that arise at the intersection of technology and daily life, as well as the presence of people immersed in their surroundings. "Criteria" features color photographs of diverse sites that support society, including laboratories, waste disposal plants, hospitals, and fish farms, gently depicting the softness of time lurking behind functional spaces. Focusing her attention not on the installations themselves, Kodama focuses on the bodies and the changing atmospheres that surround them, quietly capturing moments where the inhumanity of the city intersects with human activity. While refusing to offer explanations, the book leaves room for subtle insight into the fluctuating values and standards of society at the time.
