Madagascar (March, 2010) – After several<br />
days driving back westwards across<br />
the formidable island. Through various<br />
landscapes, I was keenly aware that the jungle<br />
island of the past was but a memory of 80%<br />
of the territory. The roaring engine passed<br />
through cultivated lands, desertscapes, lush<br />
canyons and mud flats. Eventually, we started<br />
to see a speckling of Boabab trees, marking<br />
our destination point.

Signed, and numbered on front<br />
As the practice of collecting photographs picked up<br />
steam by 1994, the push motivated us to establish<br />
a system for people to interact, exchange, acquire<br />
and collect photographs. We set up The Original<br />
Photograph Club that year and created a print<br />
program called the OP Print Program. Ka-sing and I<br />
co-curated the project and attended all administrative<br />
and organizing work. It would be a quarterly<br />
program, each quarter of the year would feature ten<br />
photographers’ work. All participants would be required<br />
to contribute an image with 20 editions, printed in the<br />
size of 8 by 10 inches. These prints we referred to as OP<br />
Editions.<br />

These days, there’s nothing<br />
To digest but food.<br />
Chewing gums, bubblegums,<br />
We used to act in place of words.<br />
To raise hands in classrooms;<br />
To lose the opportunity to question.<br />
You weren’t chosen<br />
And that’s sadness.<br />
It is essential to forget, but<br />
To remember, there will be things to talk about.

Little by Little is a body of work produced by Tomio Nitto. There are more than forty oil paintings<br />
created over the years, approximately from 2006 to the present. Tomio Nitto has always stressed that<br />
he likes to paint, but he is not an artist. Painting is a medium through which he expresses himself, his<br />
perception of life and what it means to be constantly moving, looking and communicating with others;<br />
his connection to the world. He leads a simple life with style, has a deep love for nature (one of the<br />
reasons he stays in Canada), and his genuinely altruistic nature towards other fellow creatures emerged<br />
in all his work. Thirty two pieces of work are shown in the exhibition. Together they form a narrative,<br />
but also leaving open a wide space for individual interpretation.
