Album by Hideya Ishima

A collection of works by Japanese photographer, Ishihama Shuya.

This work is a series that toured five locations across Japan in 2023, and Ishima reconstructed and produced an artist book at each location, collecting memories and stories related to the housing complex from visitors. This work is the final published output of that tour.

"For Ishima, the housing complex represents a symbol of his memories from the 18 years of his life, from childhood to adolescence. He took photos of the housing complexes he came across while on his walks, and wrote down his memories of living in the complex. This book is a collection of photographs, essays, and the fragmented memories of the people who live in the complex." - Excerpt from the publisher's text
