Kaz Yamaguchi, Filmmaker
Having been brought up in the United States and spending his school years as a returnee back in Japan, Kaz always felt something different from the people around him. After getting married in 2013, he and his wife Mariko set out on a different type of honeymoon, traveling through 48 countries for 400 days. Taking full advantage of technology to document their travels, Kaz took the typical ‘selfie’ to new heights, capturing their trip from a totally new perspective. Their honeymoon and ‘selfie’ project was covered by the BBC news with the story going viral. Soon, media outlets around the world were reporting on Kaz and Mariko’s adventure.
山口千貴（映像クリエイター）／幼少期をアメリカで過ごし、帰国子女として日本の学生生活を送った山口は、自分が周りの人間とは何か異なるという違和感をつねに抱いていた。2013年に結婚した妻・真理子とともに彼は400日かけて48カ国をめぐるという、一風変わったハネムーンへと旅立った。テクノロジーを駆使して二人の旅を記録し、典型的な「自撮り」ではなく、全く新しい視点からこの旅をとらえたのだ。二人のハネムーンと「自撮り」プロジェクトはBBCニュースにも取り上げられ、瞬く間に話題となり、世界中のメディアが山口夫妻の大冒険について報じることとなったのである。
