写真家、今井智己（Tomoki Imai）の作品集。通常、大判の4x5カメラと三脚を用いた精緻な風景撮影を主体とする今井ですが、本作では35mmフィルムカメラを使用し、日常の断片を捉えています。街角の風景や鳥籠の中の鳥など、柔らかな光に包まれたスナップショット群の間には、トルーマン・カポーティ（Truman Capote）の短編小説『夜の樹（A Tree of Night）』の点字版を撮影したイメージが静かに差し込まれています。「写真家は視覚障害者とどのように共鳴できるのか。それは果たして可能なのか」という問いへの深い探求として、写真家はこれらの被写体を選び取りました。

Tomoki Imai usually uses 4x5 format camera with a tripod as we can see his published works in the past, like Mahiru - in the middle of the day, Seigensha Art Publishing inc, 2001, Light and Gravity, Little More co., ltd, 2009 and etc.. This book was composed of 24 images by using 35 mm photography works with MATCH's suggestion. Among images with beautiful light surrounding, the entrance of an obsolete cafe, water fountain of a park, a couple at a street crossing, white bird in a cage.. we see 8 photographs of the book pages in braille. They are reproduced from the book, Truman Capote's short story A Tree of Night. The photographer chose the subjects in deep quest of answers, how the photographer could sympathize with blind persons. is that possible? The journey of Imai between visible and invisible makes feel us everlasting loneliness in a labyrinth beautifully.
