Photography dates back to the daguerreotype in 1839, but its influence on the evolution of art began even before then. From the 17th century onwards, camera obscura enabled artists to create accurate one-point perspective, helping to shift painting from religious art to naturalism and realism.

Contemporary photography has evolved from silver halide to digital and inkjet printing, transforming it into a form of "machine painting" that maximizes color and texture, creating a new aesthetic that goes beyond traditional painting and printmaking.

icon CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY is a platform for exploring the possibilities of photography as contemporary art and communicating to the world the unique visual expressions of Japanese artists who combine tradition with cutting-edge technology.
