About the Book
I first visited Shikokuchuo in 2016. Now when I return to Japan, it is to Shikokuchuo that I must go. What is it about this place that draws me back so?
2016年は初めて四国中央へ行った。それから、日本へ行くたびに、四国中央へ行かなければならないのだ。そのところに、なぜこのように惹かれているのかわからない。

About the Creator
Charlie Gao is an artist using photography as an unbounded and non-specific concept. Works explore how photography may be interpreted in the widest sense, as a practice that is itself performative and continuous in nature, a lived-in experience that sustains long-term habit and ritual. In this sense it is the motivations behind the photographer which are necessarily of paramount interest, with the camera and image secondary, confounding traditional notions of photography. Residing in London and travelling regularly to Japan, the artist studied at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, and holds an MA (Cantab) degree from Trinity College of the University of Cambridge.
