Nue Art Work Project
Nue is a photographic artwork that shows wild weeds growing in urban surroundings. The image is produced as an inkjet print on cotton paper, measuring 1456 millimeters in width and 1030 millimeters in height. The digital photograph is carefully controlled in color and tone, so the result stands between photography and graphic art. Weeds are chosen as the subject because they survive in places strongly disturbed by human activity. Their uneven forms are presented as a reflection of human life. The title refers to a legendary Japanese creature of the night.
Nue Art Work Project Photographic by Fukuma umi was selected as an outstanding example of communication design by the A' Design Award. Nue Art Work Project Photographic was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Photography and Photo Manipulation Design in 2020. The A' Photography and Photo Manipulation Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design accolade which celebrates exceptional design of portraits, landscapes, still lifes, photojournalism, fashion shots, architectural images, wildlife captures, sports events and more.
