About "#OriWalk".
I like walking around town. Nowadays, it has become so convenient that I can easily take pictures with my smartphone.I take endless pictures of things that catch my attention here and there, without any purpose in mind.However, it is not even close to the conceptual works such as "Thomason" by Genpei Akasegawa.Of course, it is not as if I can take anything particularly witty. One fine day, a very pleasant day for a walk.It was a very pleasant day for a walk, and as I turned my head to the left along the way, I found a long, straight, and narrow alleyway.I looked at it for a while, and before I knew it, I felt like I was being sucked into the other side of it.
I quickly focused on the direction in which I was being sucked in with my smartphone and took a picture, imagining how far this road would go. I took this picture while remembering how excited I used to get when I was a child at the concentrated lines that are often expressed in comic books.When I looked at the picture I took this time, I was reminded of the image of a journey that leads to a vanishing point, a vanishing point at the far end of the line of concentration, and I felt a sense of dizziness.I found myself feeling a faint sense of romance, even though I was a bit dizzy for a while. This fascinating encounter has since become a catalyst for me to enjoy walking around the city.I have since been enjoying walking around the city with a sense of "escapism. No matter where I wander, somewhere in my mind, I am always looking for a "sense of escape.Before I knew it, it had become such a secret pleasure that I could not get out of it, just like a swamp.
This time, I have been given the opportunity to present this series of "omission" as "#OliWalk".We hope you will join us on this journey of enjoying the destination of a journey that you will never reach with a pleasant feeling of giddiness. ＜Makoto Ori
