Zero Gravity Lunch

During a quiet lunch break, gravity briefly seems to disappear. A floating figure drifts beneath a giant sushi display, where the colors of clothing subtly echo the surroundings: red with tuna, white with rice and wall, darker tones with the patterns behind. An ordinary moment turns gently surreal.

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.
