Photographer Naoki Honjo is known for his characteristic style of photography that uses a large format camera with a tilt-shift lense to capture cities as if they were dioramas. Evoking the feeling of a miniature world, Honjo blurs the lines between the reality and fiction of the world around us. This is the artist's first large-scale solo exhibition and will feature approximately 200 works, including previously unseen series, which together provide a comprehensive overview of his career to date.

The show also highlights special new works that feature the host cities where his exhibitions are being held. Enjoy the wonders of our city as seen through the eyes and lens of Honjo Naoki.
