Haruhiko Kawaguchi




Haruhiko Kawaguchi photographs people inside vacuum sealed plastic bags used for futons and comforters. He meets his models in nightclubs and photographs them on his kitchen floor. The photos take about 10-20 seconds. 

Kawaguchi places his models against different color backgrounds. It seems that he does this according to the models clothing or lack there of. It is interesting how some of the models appear completely content and others seem to be screaming. 

I was drawn to this work because it reminded me of the different types of people there are. Sealed up in these bags some of these models seem so artificial and others are naked and seem so content in their natural state. I think this work also demonstrates how couples can become one.
