[3rd edition / Choice of types] SWISS Yurie Nagashima Photo Collection

About the productJapanese

A tranquil unveiling of the essence of artist Yurie Nagashima
The long-awaited third edition of "SWISS"!

"No matter how grandiose our dreams, when we think, what we see is a familiar, trivial landscape like our own bedroom." (From the artist's statement for his solo exhibition "SWISS+" in 2010)

This work is composed of photographs and diary entries taken by Nagashima Yurie when she participated in the Village Nomade residency program in Estavayer-le-Lac, Switzerland in 2007. These photographs were inspired by photos of flowers taken by Nagashima's grandmother about 25 years ago and carefully stored in a box, which were found in the house of her late grandfather. The photographs include flowers on the grounds of Village Nomade, the view of her room, and her son who accompanied her. The photo pages, text pages, and craft paper are bound randomly, like a scrapbook that brings together photos and words born in the clear air of Switzerland, and airline ticket bookmarks and notes are also inserted. The cover of the third edition is covered with cloth in a total of 22 colors, so that it can be linked to the thoughts of each person who picks it up.

"SWISS" quietly reveals the essence of Yurie Nagashima, an artist who has always taken photographs based on the theme of "family" since her debut. It is a beautiful book that condenses the time she spent facing her late grandmother through each other's flower photographs, thinking about people far away, and looking into the hearts of people who should be close to her.


"Go back to your room
It took a long time to get here.
says my son.

I'm talking about the journey
It sounds like it's talking about our hearts."

From the diary (3rd WEEK DAY6 2007.08.11)
