Silent Apparatus: Urban Silence by Shinji Ichikawa
Silent Apparatus is a series that looks at the moment when places and objects made for human use begin to appear slightly detached from their usual roles. Slides, covered cars, tunnels, tennis courts, signals, roofs, and dark water appear in the work.

Shinji Ichikawa : The essence
I was born to a family who ran a photo studio; thus, I was raised in an environment surrounded by photography. The town where I was born and grew up is famous as the spot where Japanese spirits would come to gather from all over the country in the tenth month of the old calendar.
