Ed Panar
Studio 35 Minutes is pleased to present "Animals That Saw Me," the first solo exhibition in Japan by Pittsburgh-based photographer Ed Panar. Having exhibited extensively both in the United States and internationally, Panar has established a distinguished career with numerous publications to his name.
His seminal photobook Animals That Saw Me, published in 2011, was selected as one of the best photobooks of the year by the renowned photography site photo-eye. As the title suggests, the series captures the unexpected gazes directed toward the photographer by various animals.
In this work, and its 2016 successor Animals That Saw Me: Volume 2, Panar subverts the traditional act of "looking." Rather than the human observer simply watching the animal, the photographer finds himself caught in their sight—realizing he was being watched all along. Through a thoughtful yet humorous lens, Panar explores the perennial photographic theme of "seeing and being seen."
This exhibition features a selection of works curated in collaboration with the artist from both volumes. We invite you to experience the unique world of Ed Panar in his long-awaited Japanese debut.
