Edge Complex
There is a line that separates me, us, and others.
There is a line that separates this and that.
Those who want to describe it express the boundary with a contrast that does not add thickness to the line.
The “difference” that appears between black and white is the line.
In a advanced society, the described expression promises to someone that it will keep the society at peace.
In reality, however, no such line exists.
But there are people who live in the line itself.
They are the ones who do not exist in society.
The line is drawn and updated every day by those who describe it.
Each time, there are those who disappear.
The process never seems to end.
I hope to bring the distance between black and white and the space of the line back into people's minds.

ARTIST
Hyogo Mugyuda
He has been working on a single subject, “Artificial S”. The “S” encompasses multiple meanings and plurality itself.
The theme is composed of five chapters, all of which express how “life and death” blend into each other.
In 2010, he started updating his photo activity “pile of photographys” on the web (still ongoing).
