"To the Shitty World" is a privately published photobook by Japanese photographer Hisashi Kobayashi. Kobayashi participated in a workshop organized by photographer Osamu Kanemura at photographers' gallery, and has since held numerous exhibitions at venues such as ALTERNATIVE SPACE The White, Gallery Q, Kita Alps Observation Museum, SAKuRA gallery, Omotesando Gallery MUSEE F, CALOTYPEPHOTOWORKS, and gallery mestalla. In parallel with his exhibitions, he has also produced and published many privately published photobooks, including "To the Days We Throw Away." In 2019, he won the Excellence Award at the "New Cosmos of Photography" for "To the Elite Garbage." This work involved pasting and reconstructing approximately 2,500 photographs accumulated over many years, including previously unpublished photographs and prints used in past photobooks and exhibitions, onto various objects. Kobayashi has incorporated not only the act of taking photographs, but also the accumulation of the photographs he takes and their continued existence as physical objects into his creative process. This book is one of the works that conveys a part of his prolific creative activity. Includes a message and seal.
