伊志嶺隆は1945年、台湾で生まれ、戦後両親の故郷である宮古島に引き揚げ、5歳の頃に一家で那覇市に移り住んだ。高校卒業後に上京し、印刷会社に就職するも仕事は続かなかった。義兄の勧めで写真専門学院に入学し、日本デザインセンターの現像のアルバイトをしていたが、目標の定まらない日々を過ごす。伊志嶺が本格的に写真と向き合う事になったのは1969年に高梨豊の事務所で働き始めたことが大きい。高梨豊事務所ではプリントの技術を鍛えられ、写真について深く考えるようになった。1968年から69年は、思想のための挑発的資料として「プロヴォーク」が発行されていた時期でもあり、写真メディアが大きく変容し、沖縄の写真家たちも、自身の立ち位置を自覚的に撮らなければならない転換期に差し掛かっていた。1971年伊志嶺は東京から沖縄に帰郷し、琉球大学、沖縄大学、沖縄国際大学の写真部のメンバーを中心に組織された写真集団「ざこ」を結成した。「ざこ」は沖縄タイムス社の主催する総合展「沖展」写真部に対するアンチ集団という位置づけであったが、1972年の沖縄復帰により解散する。沖縄の日本復帰以後しばらくは多くの写真家が撮る対象を失ったかのように沈黙したが、伊志嶺もその例外ではなく1980年代半ばまで彼は写真を撮ることはなかったという。その間はただただ自問自答の日々を過ごしていた。再び伊志嶺を動かしたのは、1985年に「初國」の撮影のために来沖していた高梨豊であった。以後80年代中頃から90年代初頭にかけて彼は「西表炭坑」、「糸満売り」をテーマに向き合い、また1988年にはニコンサロンで初の個展「光と陰の島」を開催するなど精力的な活動を開始したが、1993年3月、伊志嶺は海をテーマとして琉球弧の人々を撮ろうとした矢先に、バイク事故で亡くなった。享年47歳だった。本書は彼が亡くなったのちに、高梨豊を中心にして制作された写真集。正方形のスクエアなフォーマットによるシリーズ。
Takashi Ishimine was born in Taiwan in 1945, repatriated to Miyakojima, the hometown of his parents after the war, and moved to Naha City with his family at the age of five. After graduating from high school, he moved to Tokyo and got a job at a printing company, but his work did not continue. At the recommendation of his brother-in-law, he enrolled in a photography school and had a part-time job at Nippon Design Center, but he spends days with uncertain goals. It is largely because Ishimine started working at Yutaka Takanashi's office in 1969 when he started to face photography in earnest. At the Yutaka Takanashi office, I was trained in printing techniques and began to think deeply about photography. 1968-69 was also the time when "Provoke" was published as a provocative material for thought, and the photographic media changed drastically, and Okinawan photographers also took a conscious picture of their position. We were approaching a turning point where we had to. In 1971, Ishimine returned to Okinawa from Tokyo and formed the photography group "Zako", which was organized mainly by members of the photography departments of Ryukyu University, Okinawa University, and Okinawa International University. "Zako" was positioned as an anti-group against the photography club of the comprehensive exhibition "Oki Exhibition" sponsored by the Okinawa Times, but it was disbanded when it returned to Okinawa in 1972. For a while after Okinawa returned to Japan, it was silent as if many photographers had lost what they were taking, and Shota Ishimine was no exception, and he did not take pictures until the mid-1980s. During that time, I was just spending my days asking myself. It was Yutaka Takanashi, who had come offshore to shoot "Hatsukuni" in 1985, who moved Ishimine again. From the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, he faced the themes of "Iriomote Coal Mine" and "Iriomote Coal", and in 1988 he held his first solo exhibition "Island of Light and Shadow" at the Nikon Salon. Although he started his activities, in March 1993, Ishimine died in a motorcycle accident just before he tried to photograph the people of the Ryukyu arc with the theme of the sea. He was 47 years old. This book is a collection of photographs produced mainly by Yutaka Takanashi after he died. A series in a square format.
