Perhaps it is time for us to revisit the debate between geocentrism and heliocentrism. Indonesia, India, Republic of Benin, Peru, Mongolia, Japan. Vast grasslands, mountains exceeding 5,000 meters in altitude, arid lands of reddish-brown. These photographs capture people living in landscapes entirely different from our everyday world, cherishing their unique values and traditions. When we confront their gaze, questions arise about the book's theme, "the center of the world." Is the place where we stand now the center, or is it the place where they stand, in what are called "remote areas"? As we are met by the gazes of the people looking at us in the photographs, the center of the world we believe in wavers, and our perception of the world undergoes a significant transformation. This is the latest work from photographer Uruma Takezawa, who has traveled to over 140 countries and regions, and his first new release in four years. It follows the "BOUNDARY" series announced in 2021. Uruma Takezawa Born in 1977. Photographer. After working as a staff photographer for a publishing company, he became independent in 2004.
