A series of photographs made in places across Japan where nature has overgrown the traces of history: the upper reaches of the Eniwa River, once an important economic base of Ainu culture; the Saru River region, where lakes created by dams submerged Ainu living and ritual sites; the Sorachi coalfield towns of Yubari and Mikasa; the long Pacific coast hit by the Great East Japan Earthquake, from Rikuzentakata to Minamisoma, together with the inside, the boundary and the outside of the Fukushima Daiichi exclusion zone; and the Yoshino River basin in Tokushima, since ancient times a place of struggle between nature and ordinary people. Tsuyuguchi looks quietly not at the rise and fall of past cultures but at the vegetation that thrives over their traces: the hunting-ritual site where salmon once ran up the river in great numbers, the slag heaps left on the surface after the coal industry declined, the places where the nuclear accident ended residence. How do these places, as they change and are pervaded by nature, appear to our eyes and in a photograph? Moving from the Ainu forests and waters of Hokkaido, land opened up as a resource for modernisation, through the memory of the 2011 disaster to the river basin where he was born, the juxtaposed images try to bring out a vast natural history of transience, with differences and equivalences of space and the invisibility hidden in them.
