Zero Gravity Lunch
During a quiet lunch break, gravity seems to dissolve. A floating figure drifts beneath a giant sushi display, where colors subtly align across the scene—red with tuna, white with rice and the wall, skin tones with the bench—creating a quiet visual echo within an otherwise ordinary moment.
About Artist
Tomohiko Funai
I am a self-portrait, non-photoshopped levitation photographer. I was influenced by a contemporary artist, Natsumi Hayashi, and her "Today's Levitation" series in 2011. Under a concept named "Zero Gravity", I create the world of zero gravity and the life of the "levitator", who have been freed from the force of the gravity, through self-portrait photography. I have been awarded by over 50 photography competitions held in and out of Japan, and were featured in various media such as national televisions, radio, YouTube, magazines, and online articles. Won over 50 domestic and international awards. Some notable awards are: - 2023.07.15: Monovision Awards 2023 Portrait Honorable Mention (x2) - 2023.04.28: One Eyeland Photography Awards 2022 AMATEUR WINNER Top No.5 - 2023.04.28: One Eyeland Photography Awards 2022 SILVER AWARD - 2023.04.28: One Eyeland Photography Awards 2022 BRONZE AWARD (x2) - 2023.04.28: One Eyeland Photography Awards 2022 Finalists (x4) - 2023.04.05: All About Photo Awards 2023 Finalist - 2023.04.03: Fine Art Photography Awards (FAPA) 2023 Nomination - 2022.12.24: Tokyo International Foto Awards (TIFA) 2022 HONORABLE MENTION (x2) - 2022.11.30: Budapest International Foto Awards (BIFA) 2022 GOLD WINNER - 2022.09.16: International Photography Awards (IPA) 2022 Honorable Mention - 2022.03.15: World Photography Organization: Sony World Photography Awards 2022: Motion Category Shortlist (Top 15)
