そこから立ち現れるのは、表面や覆い、そして見えるものと隠されたもののあいだに広がる領域をめぐる、静かな考察である。本書は、絶えず何かを準備し、保存し、あるいは内に留めようとする世界、すなわち舞台裏 – Behind the Scenes（BTS）でひそやかに展開される、目に見えない振付のような光景が、写真を通じて浮かび上がってくる。
In BTS, Takashi Homma turns his lens toward the unnoticed rituals of protection and concealment that shape everyday life. Shot primarily in Tokyo—with detours to Colombia, Hawaii, and beyond—the book gathers images of covered cars, wrapped trees, shuttered windows, snow-draped landscapes, and figures layered in clothing until their faces disappear.
What emerges is a quiet study of surfaces, shields, and the spaces between what is shown and what is hidden. BTS reveals a world perpetually preparing, preserving, or holding something back—an unseen choreography unfolding just behind the scenes.
