Portrait

Tetsuo Hayashi

In my creative practice, I question how things are constructed, perceived, and taken for granted. This approach has been shaped through professional experience in international and cross-cultural contexts, as well as through my studies in Product Design in Milan and Material Futures in London.

I am interested not only in surface form, but in the underlying structures, meanings, and relationships that shape our understanding of the world. By reconsidering what is assumed in everyday life, I explore how perception shifts and how alternative viewpoints emerge.

Drawing has been a natural act for me since childhood, and photography developed as its extension. Through observation and reframing what is considered ordinary, I investigate alternative ways of seeing. Photography becomes a space to deepen perception, rethink how we relate to the world, and experimentally and experientially explore perspectives beyond established viewpoints.
