over the years, we’ve seen japanese artist haruhiko kawaguchi — who goes by the moniker photographer hal — vacuum-seal couples in a variety of intimate spaces. the unconventional portraiture see pairs of people tightly wrapped in a thin layer of plastic, and photographed in an extreme, controlled, and ephemeral moment. now, photographer hal is scaling up his ambitious work for his latest series, ‘flesh love all’, where families and couples are vacuum-sealed together with the homes they occupy. ‘I started a project to vacuum pack a couple and everything around with a landscape,’ the artist says. ‘not only a couple who loves each other, but also everything around them is vacuum-packed, and eventually the whole landscape is vacuum-packed, creating an image where everything in the world is one existence.’
