本書は「Song of Enid」「Vestige」「Vesperal」「Process」という4つのチャプターで構成され、それぞれの章は互いに関わり合う一連の状態として描かれています。夢や神話、歴史的図像が交錯する境界的な空間を舞台に、身体性や文化、物質との関係性を探求した本作では、写真やアーカイブ素材をコラージュし、重ね刷りによって構成された作品群を収録。ラテン語で「物事の只中で」を意味するタイトル『In Medias Res』が示す通り、始まりも終わりもない、絶え間ない生成と変化のプロセスそのものを一冊の本として提示した作品集。
In Medias Res explores transformation, fragmentation, and the fluid conditions of embodiment. The title—“in the middle of things”—positions the work within a state of continual becoming, where images emerge without fixed origin or resolution.
Structured as a sequence of interrelated states—Song of Enid, Vestige, Vesperal, and Process—the book unfolds through porous thresholds rather than discrete chapters. Across these sections, the body appears in fragments and traces: gestures, garments, and fields of color that operate as partial languages. Meaning arises through relation—through proximity, repetition, and subtle variation—rather than through linear narrative.
The works are constructed through processes of layering, overprinting, and intervention, drawing from photographic and material archives. Surfaces hold multiple temporalities, blurring distinctions between image and object, presence and absence.
Conceived as a non-linear experience, the book invites intuitive navigation. Meaning is not fixed but assembled through perception, allowing each reader to move through a shifting field of images, where transformation remains ongoing and unresolved.
Artwork and photography by Kumi Kaguraoka, Nathalie Agussol. With a special collaborative series of Risograph prints with Outerspace Press, Magda Wysacka and Claudio Pogo (Berlin) and Julie Wolfe (New York City).
