Kazuaki Koseki


Born in 1977, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan.
Koseki grew up in a family-run photography studio and has been immersed in photography since childhood. He now continues the family business while pursuing his own creative work, focusing on the natural landscapes of Tohoku.Venturing into mountains, forests, and rivers, he hones his senses through photography, exploring the philosophical relationship between humans and nature. His body of work, including the acclaimed series "Hotarubi -Summer Fairies-", is dedicated to capturing the essence of Yamagata and the wider Tohoku region.

Artist Statement

 
Kazuaki Koseki’s photographic practice explores the subtle presence of time flowing between nature and human existence—
moments of transformation and renewal that emerge within the cycles of life.
 
He photographs the natural landscapes of Yamagata and the Tohoku region of northern Japan.
There, the unique terrain gives rise to environments where the breath of many living species can be felt.
As he walks deeper into the forests, traces of time reveal themselves—
the slow passage of nature’s own history and the remnants of a past when human life was closely intertwined with the land.
These layers of memory are, to him, nature itself.
 
Snow, mist, water, and light—though appearing still—are in constant motion,
tracing the boundaries between life and death, emergence and disappearance.
Within this continuous flux lies a quiet inquiry into the essence of being itself.
 
To photograph is to capture a single moment within the continuous rhythm of transformation—
to listen to the breath of the world and render visible the forms of life dwelling in its intervals.
 
This sensibility forms the root that connects his major projects—Summer Fairies, Reborn, Sounds of Life, and Juhyo—
each a branch, interconnected yet distinct, of the same living tree known as The Cycle of Being.

Selected Reviews / Critics’ Voices

 
voices that have accompanied the works of Kazuaki Koseki
"The project I have selected for one of my Critics’ Picks is entitled Summer Fairies.
In this work, the magic of photography and the magic of fireflies (in this case, the ‘Himebotaru’ indigenous to Japan) are woven together to create some of the most beautiful photographs I have ever seen."

Chris Pichler, Founder & Publisher, Nazraeli Press
 
“Koseki photographs what cannot be seen but barely imagined.
Paolo Woods, Artistic Director, Cortona On the Move
 
“Koseki’s images offer a serene yet urgent reminder of the beauty we stand to lose.”
Megan Wright, Senior Curator, Saatchi Art
 
“Koseki’s practice transforms a family tradition of portrait photography into a meditation on nature’s impermanence — a quiet dialogue between memory, light, and breath.”
L’Œil de la Photographie, France

Artist Statement

 
小関一成の作品は、自然と人間のあいだに流れる時間の気配、
そして生命の循環がもたらす変化と再生の瞬間を見つめている。
 
私は日本の東北、主に山形の自然を撮影している。
この地域には、地形が生み出す独特の景観があり、そこには多様な命の息遣いがある。
森を深く分け入って観察するほどに、自然が辿ってきた長い時間の経過を感じ、
また、現代よりもずっと以前、人々と自然の間に強い結びつきがあった痕跡を見出す。
それは、自然そのものの記憶であり、私たちの存在の根でもある。
 
雪、霧、水、光――それらは一見静止した風景のなかで、
つねに変化し、生と死、生成と消滅のあわいを往還している。
その予測不可能な運動のなかに、「存在とは何か」という根源的な問いが息づいている。
 
写真という行為は、絶えず連なり続ける時間の中の一瞬をすくい取ること。
それは、世界の呼吸に耳を澄ませ、そのわずかな間(ま)に宿る生命の形を可視化する試みでもある。
 
この思想は、『螢火』『Reborn』『Sounds of Life』『Juhyo』といった
一連のプロジェクトを貫く根として存在しており、
それらは互いに呼応しながら、存在の連環として結びつき、「存在の循環(The Cycle of Being)」という大きな樹を形づくっている。

選評・批評からの抜粋

「私が批評家として選出したシリーズ《Summer Fairies》では、写真の魔法と蛍の魔法(ここでは日本固有種のヒメボタル)が織り合わさり、私がこれまで見た中でも最も美しい写真群のひとつを成している。」
― クリス・ピヒラー(Nazraeli Press創設者)
 
「小関は、見えないもの、かろうじて想像できるものを撮影する。
彼の作品は自然写真に根ざしながらも、視覚詩へと昇華している。」
― パオロ・ウッズ(Cortona On the Move 芸術監督)
 
「彼の写真は、私たちが失おうとしている美の儚さと、
いま守らねばならないという静かな切実さを併せ持っている。」
― メーガン・ライト(Saatchi Art シニアキュレーター)
 
「写真館の伝統から生まれた実践を、自然の無常をめぐる瞑想へと変えた。
記憶と光と呼吸のあいだに流れる、静かな対話。」
