"Excerpts from Photography
    Collection X-RAY"

Images captured through X-rays. They let you see through the skin of familiar objects and reveal the beauty of their inner structures.

Kotaro Maeda
"Endoskeleton spider"

A young artist with a strong affinity for bones has created this sculptural self-portrait. The exoskeletal(*2) spider is expressed through an endoskeletal(*2) structure.

*1. Truss structure:
A structural format used mainly in iron bridges and towers; a structure with a framework based on triangular units.

*2. Endoskeleton/Exoskeleton:
The skeletons of living creatures can be divided into “endoskeletons”, which internally support the bodies of vertebrate animals (as exemplified by humans), and “exoskeletons”, which cover the outside of the body, as in insects and crustaceans like shrimps and crabs.
