"Span" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer and designer Ryoichi Kondo. In 2016, Ryoichi Kondo published the photo book "under the apple tree 1986-2006" in Aomori's apple fields, which he had been shooting for 20 years. Originally a designer, he was active in Yamaha-related record posters, art direction and graphic design in the 1970s, and was also in charge of CI for the Watarium Art Museum in the latter half of the 1980s. I started taking photographs after I moved to New York in 1980, but this book is a maiden work compiled with illustrations taken during the time of immigration to NY. Looking at the many illustrations full of modeling power, it reminds me of Tokio Ito's work, which was also shot in NY under the title of "Fragment", but compared to Fragment, he is a foreigner and feels lonely. It seems that one's own feelings are also projected in places. Below, from the postscript of Hiroshi Unno, "These pictures are not from the front, but from the perspective of the city .... He is a span worm of the city. And of the span worm. It gave us the charm of a city that can only be seen. "
