From Saatchi Online: In [Cell], [Taiji] Matsue has enlarged specific parts of his photographs, cropping them into tiny glimpses of people and details. From this vantage point the individuals and places appear pixilated and isolated: as though the images were taken from a satellite in space. That detached sense of surveillance once again heightens the unique formal characteristics of the photos, but by focusing more closely on people, the varied dimensions of human life are presented in a manner that feels largely free of manipulation or mediation, as though Matsue is happy to provide us with a view of the activities of human life, without trying to heroize or vilify the individuals or activities presented. -- source link
