"路上の発見物 STRANGE MATERIALS OF THE ROAD" Specimen Photobook

A visual archive of strange materials, broken objects, and accidental compositions found along the roadside. This issue documents fragments of plastic, rusted metal, faded packaging, cracked tiles, wires, stains, and unknown residues collected through walking, looking, and noticing. Rather than treating these objects as waste, the publication reads them as small urban fossils, carrying traces of movement, weather, repair, neglect, and use. Each specimen becomes evidence of the road as an informal museum, where everyday materials reveal hidden stories of place, labour, decay, and survival.
