. The theme is overlap. . A collaboration between photographer Ayumi Yamamoto and illustrator Yoshifumi Takeda.

We would like to see such collaborations, in which people work together, but also inspire and enhance each other. Nowadays, we often see such collaboration as an everyday occurrence, but it is true that such an ideal is hard to find.


A two-person exhibition by photographer Ayumi Yamamoto and illustrator Yoshifumi Takeda will be held at "CLASKA Gallery & Shop "DO" Gallery2.

. What kind of collaboration will these two artists, one using a camera to cut out the scenery in front of him and the other using a pen to create the scenery in front of him, have in store for us?

For this exhibition, the two artists will create works based on the theme of "overlap," which they have set forth, and will sell a book of their works that includes the exhibited works.

Below is the concept of the exhibit .

. a puddle of water forms in a hollow in the asphalt, and light shines through it. The scenery that we casually see every day is
. born of repeated causality. As a result, different elements overlap,
. represents unexpected and interesting combinations and beautiful shapes.
Discussing the theme of this "overlap
The work expressed from the viewpoints of a photographer and an illustrator has been reconstructed in the form of a two-person exhibition."

I have a feeling that this exhibition will allow us to think about the coincidence of "overlapping", time, moments, and other areas that are not easily reached in our daily lives.
