These images are not manipulated at all. They are all taken in real sceneries. Toshio Shibata uses his camera to cut out sceneries and to create new images in photographs. Water, grass, rocks, concrete blocks, guardrails or roads simply exist as a pattern in one image. Shibata said, “I never included the sky. Showing the sky would mean going back to depicting landscapes.” He is not capturing a landscape but the image with his high sensitivity.
