Unassigned Door

Rows of brightly colored doors repeat across a strict architectural grid. At the center, a floating figure occupies a space that seems to belong to none of the identical units. The image reflects on individuality within ordered systems and the quiet tension between conformity and freedom.

About Artist

Tomohiko Funai

I am a self-portrait, non-photoshopped levitation photographer. I was influenced by a contemporary artist, Natsumi Hayashi, and her "Today's Levitation" series in 2011. Under a concept named "Zero Gravity", I create the world of zero gravity and the life of the "levitator", who have been freed from the force of the gravity, through self-portrait photography. I have been awarded by over 70 photography competitions held in and out of Japan, and were featured in various media such as national televisions, radio, YouTube, magazines, and online articles.
