Akinori Ikeda, Ani Watanabe
The annual "Holiday for Two" exhibition is back!
This exhibition features the travel exploits of photographers Akinori Ikeda and Ani Watanabe, a project in which both artists experience the same place at the same time under the same conditions, recording their experiences through photography. The last time this exhibition was held, Ikeda and Watanabe used the same camera (a Mamiya 645) and trawled the streets of Shanghai. This time, however, they used 35mm film and took to the streets of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) - the oncoming tidal waves of motorbikes, people plying their trades on the streets and in the markets, the children...Saigon is a city with a constant flow and exchange of people and their sounds and smells that accompany that flow. Ikeda and Watanabe capture that unconscious flow with their shutters, and the results of their urban escapade, a tale of Saigon life, is on display at the gallery.
Limited edition prints with edition numbers will be on sale for the duration of the exhibition. Carrying on where the last exhibition in the series left off, photographer Tokiwa Hibiki has been invited to give a talk show as well. A photo workshop conducted by Ikeda and Watanabe is also to be held on August 2nd.
