We are pleased to announce the solo exhibition by Sohei Yasui from January 15th to 24th.

He was born in 1983, Kanagawa prefecture.
Graduating Nippon Photography Institute, He studied at Kazan Federal University, Russia.
After he came back to Japan, he has been active in the field of photography.
Also, His first solo exhibition An Uncertain Circle was attracted attention by works that revealed relationship between him and Roma who is Russian minority race. The Unbearable Brightness of Being: INDIGO is composed of the works which was photographed in all parts of the world.
However, those images do not show a place and a particular name.
For him, taking a photography is not to show subjects but to take subjects as a fragment of the world.

In this exhibition, we exhibit his selected 20 pieces.
We are looking forward to seeing you.
