The New Urban Dissonance Woven by Photography and Digital Technology 'TOKYO UTOPIA' | Photographer Kousuke Shimasaki

Modern urban life is filled with complexity. Among these, Tokyo, as a global metropolis, embodies a unique blend of noise and silence. The beauty of Tokyo, the complexity of the urban system, and the relationship between humans and the city, marked by presence and dissonance. Photographer Kousuke Shimasaki, who expresses these themes from a unique perspective, will hold a photo exhibition 'TOKYO UTOPIA' from July 22 (Sat) to July 30 (Sun) at in Asakusa, Taito-ku.

Towards the Exhibition
I have been discussing holding a solo exhibition with the owner of the select shop in Asakusabashi, with whom I usually work for product photography. This time, we were fortunate to proceed with the exhibition in July. With only a few days left until the opening, I am busy arranging frames, printing, and finalizing preparations for the exhibition. I am confident that it will be an exhibition that visitors will surely enjoy!
Message to Convey
This work is themed around an imaginary landscape of Tokyo that suddenly appeared in a dream two years ago.
It combines modern digital technology with traditional photography to create a new urban dissonance. I hope you will take a look.
