This show is a reminder that we need trees, not just in the Imperial Palace, but all along our streets, boulevards, avenues, and parks. They are worth our examination, love, and gratitude. We are better off with their shade and shelter, a place under the sun. They are the antidote to endless doom-scrolling-- reminding us of the passage of seasons and our finite moment on Earth. Ask yourself how many more times will you smell the spring flowers or trample maple leaves underfoot? — Sean Lotman

We invite six artists to share their connection with Tokyo on our first anniversary.

Michibiki, symbolized by 導き in Japanese, embodies guidance and the path ahead. In this exhibition, we celebrate the concept of being drawn to an object or place, unveiling unimagined paths.

Thirty-six local artists share their own stories.

Precious Waste is a mixed-media exhibition that proposes jewelry pieces, photography, and recycled material to guide the passengers through the transformation of a trashed object into artistic creations in a journey of 28 street lamps.

Altars - From People to People is a site-specific exhibition prepared by multimedia artist Sante Visioni. Utilizing the unique setup offered by Jinny Gallery, the artist decided to transform each available space of the exhibition into an altar-like display. The exhibition aims at becoming a public celebration of people, where the artist acts just as a facilitator of the connection between those who want to honor somebody and those who will pay respect to them.

I have a great affection for that fragment of a memory. That scene that I framed inside a photograph, that instantly becomes part of me. The memory of a person who saw my photography, it becomes part of that person. The instant a photograph comes to life, its scene belongs to the past. The instant I look at a photograph, that belongs to the world. It becomes something, a common memory between me and who else shared it with me. I hold dear that ephemeral instant of the past connected to a memory. I believe each past has that precious instant.

An expression of ideas. We often live multiple lives. Multiple ideas and thoughts sharing one space, mixing with each other but yet still separate.

"Streets in Bits" will present the work of 9 street photographers from Tokyo, Nagano, and Osaka to show three to four pieces each from their work. Each piece is made up of three different street photographs. These three images are like small "bits" from the urban panorama photographers captured through their sensibility and perspective. Together they express the individuality of each one of the exhibiting artists.

The exhibition showcases the interpretation of 42 artists on the connection between impermanence and time.

ZeroFeedback is an international publisher in Tokyo specializing in contemporary photography, design, and culture.

Same old town. Same old streets, where the time goes by.

No one glances at the clock in the city anymore, constantly checking their phones.

I notice a shoe that lies abandoned on the street. Since when did I start to think this was normal?

If you focus, these small oddities lurking in the city may completely change your perspective.

Sidewalks are suitable for walkers. They are very crowded places. The footprints quickly vanish without leaving any trace. The flaneur traces their paths elsewhere. They wander between the narrow streets and the city's buildings; immersed in tranquility, he walks in silence. Zig-zagging through the people, searching for a glimpse of light in urban chaos. Then, stepping off the sidewalk, looking for a story to tell.

Seven artists, each presenting six photographs, all of them to tell one personal meandering story of theirs from Tokyo.
