Takanori Oguiss was a Japanese painter whose career flourished during the Taisho and Showa periods. He was the first Japanese artist to be allowed to travel to France after World War II, and was known for depicting the cityscapes of Paris.
The creator of the work is a distant relative of Oguiss, who, owing to the painter, has had a painting training and studied the same major at the same university as Oguiss.
Walls are a motif Oguiss preferred to paint, but also are in themselves objects that can be identified with across different times and places.
In this work, in an act of grounding his own self-continuity on the history of another person, the artist captures walls charged with painterly compositions through the eyes of the machine in his hands.
