MAN / Erik Kessels, Karel De Mulder

写真を撮られるとき、両脇を同数の女性たちに固められた、ひとりの男性。その男性は、いつも決まって自分が好むであろう場所、つまり真ん中に陣取っています。この「男らしい」振る舞いは、意図的なものなのか、本能的なものなのか、それとも全くの偶然なのでしょうか。そして、このような写真の構図は過去の遺物なのでしょうか。それとも、ひとりの男性と複数の女性が写真に収まる限り、これからも続いていくものなのでしょうか。

オランダを拠点とするアーティストのエリック・ケッセルス（Erik Kessels）と、ベルギーのクリエイティブディレクター、カレル・デ・マルダー（Karel De Mulder）による写真集。男性が中央に存在する象徴的なファウンドフォトは、ケッセルスらしいユニークな編集とブックデザインによって、皮肉とユーモアを内包したビジュアルブックとなっています。

A man flanked by an equal number of women on either side when photographed - placed exactly where he seems to prefer: right in the center. Is this manly act a matter of intent, instinct, or pure coincidence? And does this photographic composition belong to the past, or will it endure as long as one man and more women gather for a photograph?
