A series that kept photographing one suburban area for more than ten years, by Reiko Tamura, who chose to shoot repeatedly within a limited area of familiar land, without travelling far, interested in what becomes visible when you look closely for a long time at a place you know well. Buildings appear, facilities expand and the shrubs on the site change; over a long passage of time the landscape seen through the camera changes with each moment along with the body. Because it is such an extremely neutral landscape, The Zone has a more disquieting texture. What does it mean to see a landscape, and at what moment does one press the shutter? Through the act of photographing, the book explores the time and space that suddenly rise up.
