TALKING WITH THE INORGANIC MAN
“Even though it was a shooting with inorganic object, I couldn’t have helped feeling something human-like emotions by this.“
Photographer TAIGA KAWANO
It was obvious that I felt something from this shooting with a mannequin.
It was absolutely inorganic and just a prop, but through touching it I came to realize that I’ve poured my emotions and thoughts into the prop. It did had nothing at first, but had gained something from me. Also, I recognized its the mannequin’s expression as a reaction somehow.
I hadn’t known that we - me and the man as a mannequin - communicate each other.
