| The adjudication of "ALLOTMENT TRAVEL AWARD 2010" 10.2010
The adjudication from the Allotment Travel Award I received in March last year has been posted to the internet. The competition judges, Chiharu Nishimura (art and film critic) and Masakatsu Kondo (artist), have detailed the process leading up to the grand prize and featured the portfolios of the nine people who made it through to the final stage.
“With respect to the photographs, many of the artists, such as Yoichi Sano, Yamotsu Kido, Daisuke Hayata and Tomoe Murakami had a clear style. Their pictures are more than mere documentaries, in that they demonstrate use of the camera to capture light figuratively. Each have developed their own personal methodologies and have produced works of a very high standard, making for an overall high level competition.” “In the end we decided upon Daisuke Hayata. One of the key reasons for the decision was because of the anticipation he built by electing to explore the possibilities of the completely unknown”. (Chiharu Nishimura) “Daisuke Hayata’s photographic works are produced by shooting in night environments where there is no artificial light, so his only source of illumination is the moon. The world of darkness that he was theoretically pondering was an all encompassing single darkness (an anonymous world), void of any division between objects and space. But when he actually took the photographs his expectations were betrayed: subtle divisions floated forth, so that in the final works the subject places are just barely identifiable. Daisuke’s works are extremely simple, but the wonder he feels is reflected in a captivating way. I felt a desire to support this artist for his ability to recognize the gap between his intention and the finished work as being the crucial key to releasing the work from his own intellect and thus heading back out into the darkness.” (Masakatsu Kondo)

Receiving a prize of ALLOTMENT TRAVEL AWARD 2010 03.2010 (The following is extracted from ALLOTMENT web page)
“Allotment” is a travel award established in 2009 to commemorate the life and work of artist Naoko Yogo. The Allotment award provides opportunities for young Japanese artists to travel, with the aim of enhancing their experience, broadening their knowledge and vision, and developing and nurturing their work. Before Naoko passed away in 2005, she devoted a lot of time and energy to her allotment in South London. It was an important part of her life, a source of great joy as well as hard work. In his text for Naoko’s book, Chris Roberts recalls one of her stories about her allotment: “There were no taps on the allotment so she had to carry water there herself […] She had worked out the bare minimum each plant required, no more than a glassful each […] it was just a small habitual act of kindness that would result in something coming to fruition.” For Naoko, there was no difference between working on her art and on her allotment: they coexisted as vital parts of her life. In both, she worked with enthusiasm and care, paying attention to small details. Though each required a great deal of patience, she never compromised. She went through a constant process of trial and error in order to accomplish what she set out to do. The Allotment travel award will reflect Naoko’s life and legacy by supporting artists who, like her, are guided by a passion to produce their work and yet endeavour to pursue their dreams. All proceeds from the sales of Naoko’s book and photographs will be donated to the Allotment fund.
