It’s not an exhibition, but I did the front cover photography for the double CD album
“Life Is Beautiful” by Magical Power Mako L5 Band.
Born and raised in 1983 in Kawachinagano, Osaka.
After graduating from junior high school, I enrolled in a fashion vocational high school but dropped out due to various circumstances. After leaving school, I worked in various fields, including automobile body repair, bakery work, and electronic component manufacturing.
In 2016, I met Katsu Ishida at SYSTEMA GALLERY, which led me to start working as an electronic craft sphere photographer and electrical sculptor, actively creating both domestically and internationally.
How I got into the art world？
I am an Electronic Sphere Photographer, but I used to dislike both photography and electronics.
My father loved cameras and taking photos. Most of my memories of him involve him constantly taking pictures. Watching him, I felt embarrassed. I hated both being photographed and taking pictures.
Ironically, before I knew it, I had started taking photos myself. At first, they were just poorly taken snapshots.
I visited a gallery because an acquaintance was exhibiting in a group show. There, I met Katsushi Ishida. He said to me, “If you’re taking photos, then create something.” That was the moment my creative journey began.
Later, I was diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). It was difficult for me to accept, and I struggled a lot.
Despite this, I worked various jobs while pursuing my art as a side career. I thought I was stress-resistant, but my health gradually declined. Eventually, I developed depression and resigned from my job in January 2025.
About my art work
The main themes of my work are connections, the world as I see it, vessels and souls, light and sound, and spheres.
I used to shoot with a DSLR camera, but I often felt that what I captured was different from what I actually saw. This made me sad, so I eventually gave up on using a DSLR.
Among all the cameras I tried, a 360-degree camera was the closest to how I perceive the world. I combined its unique visual perspective with my admiration for sound, my self-taught knowledge of electronics, sculpting techniques, photography skills, and transfer printing methods. By connecting these elements, I refined and elevated them into what my work is today.
There is something else I recently started—I actually always wanted to be a musician.
I took Electone lessons for over ten years, but I never improved. No matter what instrument I practiced for years, I couldn’t get any better. I can’t sing well, and I have no sense of rhythm.
However, I always liked writing lyrics. In a way, my lyrics are like a collection of meaningless diary entries that have piled up over time. I wanted to organize them and find a way to express them, so in late January 2025, I finally turned to AI-generated music.
I write the lyrics, while AI composes and sings the songs. I started this project under the name Erii05 (Eri Zero Five) in January 2025.
