Naoki Honjo: (Un)real Utopia

Oct. 16 - Nov. 28, 2021

Detail

Honjo Naoki (1978-, b. Tokyo) is a photographer known for his unique style of shooting cities like a diorama with tilt-shift photography using a 4 x 5 camera. His work, like a miniature world, questions us what reality and fiction about our world are, and at the same time, conveys us his warm, loving gaze on the cities and people there.

This first large-scale solo exhibition of Honjo’s presents approximately 200 works including the Kimura Ihei Award winner “small planet” series, the African savannah themed “kenya” series, and the “tohoku 311” series taken three months after the Great East Japan Earthquake. New works which capture the landscapes of Iwate prefecture will also on display for the first time. We hope you will enjoy the wonders of our city through the eyes of Honjo.
