Organised by T3 PHOTO FESTIVAL TOKYO, the exhibition Five Views – La photographie japonaise émergente brings together the artists THE COPY TRAVELERS, Kenji Chiga, Mayumi Suzuki, Eri Minamikawa and Shohei Miyachi. Through distinctive approaches, each of them questions the relationships between image, memory, identity, body, family and contemporary Japanese society.

Together, they draw a sensitive and multifaceted portrait of contemporary Japan while highlighting the new directions of Japanese photography.
