Business Overview
Taisuke Koyama's solo exhibition "SENSOR _ CODE" was held at the gallery "SEEN FIFTEEN" in South London. In this exhibition, 19 works created using not only cameras but also hand scanners and flatbed scanners were exhibited under the concept of "sensor-based images," that is, images based on data recorded by photodetectors, as "photographs" in the digital age. 10 of them were long prints of about 1 m in width and 6 m in length, and they were hung from the ceiling at random in the exhibition space, creating an installation for the audience to experience the works while walking around the exhibition space. This exhibition was held as the main program of PECKHAM 24, a contemporary photography event held in conjunction with PHOTO LONDON, the largest photography art fair in London. On the opening night, a special screening of video works was held outside, and gallery talks were also held.
