Content and Features
This photobook is the first in a self-published series that Daisuke Yokota has been actively publishing in recent years (#2 and #3 were also produced in the same year).
→ 这本摄影集是横田大祐近年来积极自出版的系列中的第一册（同一年还制作了第2册和第3册）。
Experimental Technique: Rather than simply recording the subject, Yokota employs a unique technique of physically and chemically processing the film and photographic paper (heating, dissolving in acid, etc.) to incorporate randomness and noise.
→ 实验性技巧：他并非仅记录主体，而是采用一种独特的物理与化学处理底片与照相纸的方式（加热、在酸中溶解等），以引入随机性与噪音。
Abstract Imagery: Even when concrete landscapes or people are depicted, the images dissolve and transform through this process, taking on the texture of abstract painting.
→ 抽象影像：即使描绘具体的风景或人物，图像也会在这一过程中逐渐溶解、转化，呈现出抽象绘画的质感。
Background: Yokota is pursuing the possibilities of the medium of photography itself, and this series is positioned as an experimental body of work that visualizes the process of "shooting, developing, and fixing."
→ 背景：横田大祐在探索摄影媒介本身的可能性，这一系列被定位为一组实验性作品，直观呈现“拍摄、冲洗、定影”的过程。
