It will soon be two centuries since photography was invented and an astronomical number of photos have been produced in this period of nearly 200 years. Along with innovations in technology and networks, drastic changes have occurred in terms of photographic expression, production techniques, and the relationship between the creator and the recipient. Leading 20th century photographer William Klein had a decisive influence on modern visual culture, with his approach that goes beyond genres such as photography, movies, design and fashion, and his works capturing the cities of the world, including New York, Rome, Moscow, Tokyo, Paris, and so on. This exhibition will introduce Klein’s vision of cities alongside the works of Japanese and Asian photographers looking to examine the cities and people of the 21st century with a fresh perspective that dramatically transcends the frame of conventional photography.
