Editor's Note by Satoshi KOGANEZAWA

Solo exhibition of Masanori Hata, in where his old works are reconstructed. Though this exhibition is called “Photography exhibition”, there are not only purely photograph works exhibited but also the works for which collage or painting are used. There are works not only hung on the wall but also placed on the floor. In addition to them, there are amount of books piled on the floor, which can be seen for the hand. The hall is a little chaotic because of the dark and heavy color, and the effect that there are a lot of works which makes the viewers feel the strong physical impression by the clear sense of "Life", and "Sex". However, because I become accustomed with it after a while or it was arranged from the beginning, I finally wanted to see more chaotic if it was presented in this kind of installation. Hata is also exhibiting his works in other 5 places in this November including the one in Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Munredon, Bankuruwase, Bar countzero, and an internet exhibition < http://hatamasanori.slide.com>. It is an artist whose vigorous production and the announcement expect the future.
