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 photographic artworks, all of them to tell one personal meandering story of theirs from Tokyo.
