I am Mag, an NFT photographer/Artist. Here is a brief profile.
NFT photographer searching for beauty hidden in everyday life, started his career in December 2021. Based on the technique of street snapshots, he takes photographs with the theme of moments where reality and fiction are ambiguously intermingled and where there is a blank space for the imagination. He is also challenging unconventional photographic expressions such as collaborations, secondary works, and abstract expressions based on photography.
I am pleased to announce a new collection of Tezos NFT photographs, "Tokyo Condensation", which will be exhibited at objkt.com. This is a collection that made me personally confront photography once again.
About the Collection
"Tokyo Condensation" is a collection of Tokyo street snapshots taken over the past year and a half while working at NFT. People, street patterns, architecture, light, color, and atmosphere.These are moments in which all the elements of Tokyo are abstracted and indiscriminately condensed into a single moment. We hope you will feel the existence of the city of Tokyo more in such a moment.
About releasing on the Tezos chain
First of all, after the experience of releasing my work on Ordinals or Ethereum, I found it interesting that each chain has a different nature and culture.
Among them, I have long been attracted to the Tezos chain, which has fostered a strong culture of connection and support among artists.
Once I started a thread asking Tezos chain artists to introduce their work, and I was overwhelmed by the excitement, with over 240 replies.
I also like to collect not only objkt art but also fxhash generative art.
In this context, I also wanted to challenge myself as an artist to develop a collection for the Tezos chain, so I created this collection.
On using photography as a theme for the collection
I have experienced photography-based creations such as "Think Lunar Tokyo," a recent collaborative project with artists I respect and admire, and "Ordinal Tokyo Fragments" and "Recursive Tokyo Vintage 78" at Ordinals. In the course of these projects, I have been reexamined and reoriented to the photograph itself.
In the process, I wanted to confront photography itself once again, and chose it as the theme for the collection.
What is it that I feel about photography itself? I felt that it is simply to be able to face the beautiful moments of reality and face the emotions.
I am attracted to moments that have not been artificially altered, moments that are fleeting and will not return once they have passed. It is also fun to look back at those moments and let my imagination run wild.
I find value in those moments, and I hope that viewers will feel that value as well, which is why I have chosen photography itself as the theme of this collection.
About the photos in the collection
I prefer abstract expression. I like to photograph the subject as it is, but I have found that I prefer to photograph moments where it is not clear at first glance what I am photographing, such as when some object, such as a mirror, glass, or water surface, is transmitted or reflected, or when I have a bird's eye view, as if I have deconstructed and reconstructed the scene.
It is similar to the technique of multiple exposures, but instead of layering elements separated by time, I am attracted to using objects and events in the moment and finding a moment that combines composition, texture, and color atmosphere in a particular moment.
I find beauty in moments that are real, but which seem to jump out of reality and extend reality.
I would like to continue to pursue and photograph such moments, not only in the photographs that will be developed this time, but also in the future.
