The 8th issue of the Gitai Collection explores the sculptural relationship between planets and bakeries. This experimental art book magazine connects the vast cosmos with everyday scenes through graphics, by likening planets to bakery drinks and foods. It delves into new perspectives on viewing bakery drinks and foods, such as the diffusion and mixing of Earth’s atmosphere and milk, the formation of spherical shapes in lunar craters and carbonation bubbles, and the correlation between the surfaces of celestial bodies and the textures of bread. From this work onward, it is a collaboration between husband and wife, with Yafa Koseko, the wife of Tomoyuki Koseko, responsible for the illustrations.

「鍵のメトロポリス」は、鍵と都市の類似性をテーマにしたアートブックです。線画として描かれた様々な都市の遠景は、すべて鍵を上下反転させたもの。方向によって意味が変化するのが特徴で、例えば、鍵先の溝や輪郭は上を向いた時に高層建築物の壁面や外形へと表情を変えます。それらが集積することで、鍵の大都市を形成しています。
