SUMMARY:นิทรรศการ \"Auto-graph\"
DESCRIPTION:AUTO-GRAPH, a new exhibition at Serindia Gallery, opening 
 Thursday 4 April, presents the latest works by photographer Tetsuya Ku
 su. The series of photographs was taken from the moving automobile on 
 his road trip thousands of miles along the US West Coast and ultimatel
 y severely rear-ended. Smart and surprising, AUTO-GRAPH revolves and r
 eveals his artistic instinct and dedicated self.\r\nArtist statement: 
 I have been trying to understand myself by recording and saving moment
 s that remind me that I am alive. Many different things have happened 
 in my life - experiencing three earthquake disasters and two terrorist
  attacks, I have also had a few other close encounters with death, and
  I was homeless for three and a half years, mentally exhausted. It was
  surely a hard reset in my life. Going through all these things made m
 e wonder why I am still alive today, and to me, recording my life with
  photography is exactly like taking portraits of myself. In Autumn 201
 6, I bought an automobile and drove a few thousand kilometers along th
 e West Coast of the United States in order to promote my newly publish
 ed photobook. During the road trip, I installed a camera with a tripod
  in the front passenger seat in order to record the process. I kept th
 e window open, faced the lens outwards and set the camera to an automa
 tic program which would make the shutter go down every 15 seconds. It 
 was important for me not to have control of the shooting process, sinc
 e I wanted to do a pure documentation. All these auto-graphs have capt
 ured the whole process of the trip, and at the end of the each day I w
 ould pick an image out of the vast amount of automatically saved photo
 graphs, as a practice to recognize my own existence. During this trip,
  I witnessed how Trump was on his way to being elected as the Presiden
 t of the United States, and it made me strongly realize how the world 
 is inevitably going to be changed. My road trip unfortunately had to e
 nd as I was rear-ended by another car. It once again reminded me how l
 ife is often determined by predestinated circumstances. Although I hav
 e been through several life-threatening events, I have been kept alive
  until today. As long as I am being kept alive, I would like to contin
 ue observing this life, full of intrigue and mystery.\r\nBased in Kama
 kura, Japan.After graduating from university, Tetsuya Kusu took off on
  a journey that would take him across Eurasia. His final stop on this 
 journey was a small island in Thailand which became his second home. W
 hile working there as a diving instructor for 6 years, he fell in love
  with photography honing his craft, shooting various underwater photos
 . After returning home to Japan, he started working independently as a
  photographer focusing on underwater, resorts, architecture, portraits
 , and cultural photos for magazines and advertising mediums. He quit c
 ommercial works, and started creating works on a project basis from 20
 14, continuing the announcement at home and abroad.\n\nFor more inform
