The ray which emerges from the symbolic black details associates the light of moon which floats in the primitive time. The theme of Yoshiaki Kita is pursuing primitivity. The primitive memory which can't be disclosed in today is reflected in portraits of the children's and skin of an animal from various places in the world. Genealogy of the mankind or who the existence of a dinosaur can be found in the images which were disclosed. Light has been primitized successfully in that sense. The life which exists in the photography is definite and it is the our beginning which we may not wipe out.
