  This issue of IANN is titled Nostalgia for Nature and it contains an array of works tied under the theme dealing with
the inseparable relationship between nature and human. Peter Sutherland has photographed deer that have wandered into
the city and Stephen Gill has captured the neighbourhood of Hackney in London in the Hackney Flower project,
minutely detailing the human longing for nature. In contrast, the toy deer that appears in photographs by Korean artist
Yong Hun Lee look like stuffed animals that have become extinct due to destruction of nature, and New JPEGs by
Thomas Ruff seem even more artificial because of the grids from the shape of pixels. Furthermore, images by Korean artist
Jungjoo Kim are representative of the mechanical and cold metallic city through drawings, objects and photographs

In this first issue, we feature various works which are complied under the theme of 『Inside Out Outside In far East Asia』.
In today's cultural theme of the Other, images of Far East Asia; such as the rapidly changing China since the market opening,
South Korea still remained as a divided nation in global world and Japan so-called the West in far East Asia, are perhaps
accustomed subject matters and at the same time cliches of one's past and present. By confronting with these images which
have been piled up in many years inside and outside we understand one another, but on the other hand hold deep prejudice
against. There will always be images what it is taken to refer to the Other, that is neither true nor false
