フランスの写真家ルノー・カステインの「エッジ」は、四半世紀にわたる世界旅行を凝縮した魅力的なフォトブックであり、異なる文化に内在する静かな暴力と優雅な詩情を捉えています。このモノクロとカラーの写真コレクションは、世界中のさまざまなシーンを動的なモザイクとして結びつけ、人類共通の糸を浮き彫りにします。異なる時代と場所の画像を対比させることで、「エッジ」は観る者に、差異、文化、人間性の本質について考えさせます。カスタンの作品は技術的な腕前を超え、世界が緻密に繋がっていることを明らかにし、各画像が他の画像に共鳴し、共有の視覚的対話を通じて文化を結びつける中で、集団的な対話のための豊かな場を提供します。
