Anomalies — Anne Murayama
Anomalies, the latest installment in Anne Murayama's monochrome photobook series, is a tribute to the artist's ongoing exploration of the extraordinary in the ordinary, taking cues from Daido Moriyama's Record series. Drawing inspiration from the Tanabata Festival, which marked the inception of her journey with ephemere., Murayama's lens captures a world teeming with beautiful oddities, outré memories, and enigmatic happenstances. As a sequel to her Anatomies trilogy, Anomalies invites readers into Murayama's lens, where the mundane is transformed into a realm of intrigue and wonder, and where every photograph tells a story of the surreal lurking just beneath the surface of everyday life.

「アノマリーズ」は、村山杏のモノクロ写真集シリーズの最新作であり、普通の中にある非凡なものを探求する芸術家の持続的な旅へのオマージュです。このシリーズは、大道具郎の「記録」シリーズからヒントを得ています。村山杏のレンズは、エフェメールとの旅の始まりを印象づけた七夕祭からインスピレーションを得て、美しい異常さ、異彩を放つ記憶、謎めいた出来事にあふれた世界を捉えます。アナトミーズ三部作の続編として、「アノマリーズº1」は読者を村山のレンズの中に招き入れ、日常が興味と驚きの領域に変わり、すべての写真が日常生活の表面のすぐ下に潜むシュールな物語を語る場所です。
