"Karte" by Japanese photographer Kenji Kasai. While primarily working in fashion and portraiture, Kasai has consistently practiced creating images from the distance he maintains and the relationship he has with his subjects. He is known for his unique expression that oscillates between commercial photography and a personal gaze. This work is a series that was continuously shot over approximately six years, with model Rena Takeshita as the subject, and the time spent in various locations such as her home, travel destinations, and hotels has been accumulated. The images, in which staged scenes and everyday life gently intersect, seem to reflect not so much the beauty of a single moment, but rather the relationship itself that changes with the passage of time. This book quietly questions the wavering of the gaze that arises from continuously photographing one person, and the nature of distance in photography.
