Jinny Street Gallery

Inaugural exhibition at the gallery made for walkers, by walkers.

Hello walkers. Happy new year! This is the same ‘ole newsletter, but with a twist. More on this later, but I want to start the year with a bang, as they say.

I’ll be part of the inaugural group photo exhibition at Jinny Street Gallery starting this Sunday, January 15, 2023. The gallery that Lorenzo and I (with the help of Sawabe Kin) created by converting street lamps of one of my favorite neighborhoods — Jingumae. The gallery is made by walkers, for the walkers, the flâneurs. So it felt apt to dedicate its first exhibition to the fellows alike.

Tokyo Flâneur: Through the Eyes of a Stroller is a group photo exhibition of seven street photographers. Alongside Lorenzo and I, we were lucky to have five amazing photographers onboard for this show, which many of you might recognize from the Tokyo street photography scene — Yusuke Nagata (Nuts Tokyo), Daniele Martire, Joel Pulliam, Lukasz Palka, and Leon Gallo.

Each one of us will display six pieces. Mine will be in lamps 5, 9, 17, 22, 32, and 39.

The exhibition will last till and including February 17, 2023. It will be open 24/7 for your walking and viewing pleasure.

This will be my last exhibition for a while. I plan this year to focus on photography, bookbinding, and a few new exciting projects, which I’ll share in this newsletter every fortnight or so.

“Fortnight.” Does this mean I’m finally committing to a schedule for this intermittent dispatch? Well, sort of. I do not intent to have a rigid schedule, but having fourteen-day deadline feels about right blend of consistency and fluidity. The words I really want to explore this year in terms of work and the process. More on this in a fortnight or earlier.

Thanks for reading, —T
