NAKANO Masataka captures highways without a single car on them and entertainment districts without a person in sight, producing rectangular pictures with the appearance of a movie screen. The images are not process with a computer; NAKANO shoots them with a film camera. During holiday periods or early in the morning when there are relatively few people around, NAKANO clicks his shutter in the morning sunlight after waiting patiently for the moment when the site is completely uninhabited. The photographer explains that he is trying to “’speed’ and ‘dentisy’ are said to be the main characteristics of modern cities.”
