A collection of works by a photographer, Ichitaka Narahara, who has been described as the flagship of postwar Japan photography, "Stateless Land-1954 / Stateless Land -1954". In the latter half of the 2010s, after his solo exhibition "Kingdom" at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, he gained renewed attention both in Japan and abroad. Reprinted photobooks of these works have been published frequently. From documentaries set in Japan to conceptual ones shot abroad, the eclectic and sensual styles rich in Japanese and Western styles are still fascinating many people. Speaking of Narahara's debut work, it is said to be "Human Land", but in fact there is a substantial debut work that was filmed in the school days before that. That is "stateless land". A boy who survived the war was attracted to the "ultimate nothingness" of a postwar munitions factory and an artillery arsenal, which turned into a "ruined ruin", and became enamored with the shutter. From the afterword, "" Barren "itself has become a clue to alive. The ultimate tranquility of the ruined civilization has set off into the future."
