The act of creation is then expressed through this data. "Daily" involves multiple exposures of all pages of the day's newspaper, resulting in a single image. "Monthly" is created by multiple exposures of approximately 30 "Daily" images, and "Annually" is created by multiple exposures of 12 "Monthly" images. In this ritualistic work, Tanaka uses a mechanical system to express images while also revealing anthropological behavioral patterns. To express the space between these ideas and results, we decided to include the work itself and the complex details behind it, like a forest, when publishing "Post" as a book. Because "Post" is a project with a close intrinsic relationship to its process, understanding the process of its formation was necessary to understand the results of the work. From these thoughts, we felt that this book should not only display the completed project but also showcase the multifaceted worldview that "Post" encompasses. As a result, "Annually" envelops "Monthly," and "Monthly" envelops "Daily." This structure allows for a multi-layered experience of the "Post" project's systematic nesting of time units. Furthermore, each image is displayed chronologically, allowing the viewer to perceive subtle changes from the current day (month) to the next day (month), or to a different day (month). Commentary is contributed by Osamu Kanemura, a photographer and Tanaka's mentor, and Rei Masuda, a chief researcher at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. Their respective perspectives offer insights into "Post." The book also includes a DVD containing a video of Tanaka's daily "Daily" production process. Slight tear on the corner.
