This latest exhibition of photographer Shingo Wakagi will showcase some of the huge bundles of test prints he has made with Leica 35 mm film over a period of about 20 years, from 1998 to 2018. Photographs that you come across by chance in your travels, photos that you don't even know when, who took them and where they were taken. In these photographs, which are also known as anonymous photos, the photographer's feelings and background towards the subject are more apparent than the object being photographed, and are reflected in the objects themselves, such as fading and paper deterioration over time, allowing the viewer to sense a different depth to pure photographic expression. For the first time in Japan, Shingo Wakaki will exhibit test prints he has made himself from 20 years' worth of photographs taken by Shingo Wakaki, which he had kept in storage for a long time, and entrusted to a curator for selection. What meaning does the past as a photographic object have in this age of data storage (memory)? Please look forward to this exhibition.
