YAMAGISHI Takeshi (Photographer)
建築写真家・山岸剛が東日本大震災から8年にわたり東北を中心に撮影してきた写真をまとめた本。可能な限り客観的な「記録」として、デザインの各要素を決めていった。 書籍の外形は見開きで4x5の写真比率。レイアウトのリズムは写真同士の関連性が作る構造と重なり合う。写真は時系列に並べた。撮影日と撮影場所のみが羅列されたキャプションを、年毎に写真の後に挿入した。 写真の集合としての総体を設計することを目指した。
A book compilation of the photos taken by architectural photographer, Takeshi Yamagishi over eight years after the Great East Japan Earthquake, mainly in the Tohoku region. Each design element was determined to make it an objective ‘record’ as much as possible. The size of the book corresponds to a 4x5 photography format when it is opened as a spread. The rhythm of the layout overlaps with the structure made by the relevance of the photographs. The photographs are arranged in chronological order. Captions that show the shooting date and place are inserted after the photographs by year. The aim was to design the whole as a collection of photographs.
