Toro Nagahama

I believe the everyday is not just a boring
flat subject. It can be more playful and fun.

This is a series of photographs of my sister.
I asked her to do whatever strange ideas I came up with, which she performed really well. Firstly, I have to say thank you to her. Thank you.

This project is an experiment on how a camera can change and interfere the everyday relationship and communication.
I have been living with my sister, therefore my everyday person was her.I have taken all of these pictures in our house. Anything I used, were not specially prepare for this project.

Everything in the picture existed in the house, but how they are arranged and situated is a little twisted. I also added text beside each image to make a little story.

I believe the everyday is not just a boring flat subject. It can be more playful and fun.
I enjoyed this project as a playful game.
The process of putting everything together,
as book, was really good fun, and I
hope my sister enjoyed it as well.
