Since 2008, The Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography has featured an series of annual exhibitions based on concepts derived from its moving image department; the Quest for Vision series. One of each of these five themes—Imagination, Animation, 3D Vision, Expansion and Reduction, and The Image as Record—are selected each year, as subjects for an exhibition combining the work of contemporary artists with work from the Museum's permanent collection.

This year's theme, Expansion and Reduction, explores the expansion of the observable, following the changes in our world view and the popular imagination of the cosmos. Historically, developments in scientific technology and communications media have always changed the ways in which we understand the world. In today's information society, it's changing still. This exhibition follows not only historical and current perspectives, but also presents works which offers new points of reference about how we might come to see the world in the future.
