Zhang Manhui Exhibition “The Roleless Role”

Psychology uses the word "Roleless Role"。It means "a person who can't find his role at all"。To know the true self、It ’s difficult for many people.。So everyone、Grow without stopping。I often say "it's important to be as it is"、Some are difficult to do、Many people are unacceptable。 Reunited with girls who had known for a long time、I heard a career of the last few years that I don't know at all。The road ahead is endlessly long、They are saved from their past、Reborn as a brand new。Embrace the future that no one knows、Living。I'm upset and fall in love、Without being unnecessarily demeaning、Face yourself deeply。  Try to know yourself, and then love yourself. Know yourself、And、love。 Zhang Manhui / Chowman Kay Profile / Profile 1995 Born in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China 2013 USA、Studying Fine Arts at Ohio University 2019-Present Tokyo Visual Arts Department of Photography Photographer Enrolled Instagram: adaasadaushio Website: HTTPS://megumii.jp Starting tomorrow, TPPG will hold an exhibition of my seminar students in two sessions.。 ・ February 9th to 14th、Zhang Manhui Photo Exhibition "The Roleless Role" ・February 23-February 28、Kawaguchi Tsubasa Photo Exhibition "THE NEGATIVE ~ Nega Yori Moon ~" First of all, the exhibition of "Megumi-san" and Zhang Mane-san in the above image.。this time、The subject was Megumi's old friends。Each captures a living figure with worries and conflicts。The title "Roleless Role" (people who can't find their role)、I think many people may think of it.。I myself think about what I should do before I meet photography、I still couldn't find it well、I stayed in the room in agony、So to speak, there was a "pupa season"。Each of the girls in Megumi's photo is living toward their goals.。Still, you will often hit a wall in the process of growth.。And the same can be said for the author, Megumi.。While hitting the wall many times、Overcome many times、Eventually, the pupa becomes a beautiful butterfly and flaps its wings.。It is a work that I would like you to see while imagining the appearance of such girls。During the exhibition、To author the gallery We look forward to your visit of everyone。Also for the growth of young photographers、Please tell us a frank defunct opinion。In addition, we are selling handmade ZINEs containing the works at the venue.。Please take a look at this as well。 Students graduating this year、I couldn't go out to shoot as I expected due to the influence of the new coronavirus、Also, many of the lessons are online、It must have been very different from the student life I had imagined.。And I couldn't hold the graduation exhibition, which is the result of two years.、The announcement is only on the school homepage。Still, the students never turned backwards、He worked hard on the production while exploring what was possible.。I'm proud of those students。We would be grateful if you could take a look at this exhibition, which is one of the few results announced.。

Tokyo Debugger @Zen Foto Gallery

Shinya Arimoto Exhibition “Tokyo Debugger” 2021.1.14(collection) – 2.20(sat) @Zen Foto Gallery Many people have doubts about making works centered on the appearance of insects, as I have mainly produced portrait works for over 20 years.。However, in the statement of the previous work "Tokyo Circulation", "Tokyo in my eyes is、It's an ecosystem with a magnificent cycle. "。This is if the precise and calculated structure "honeycomb" made by a creature called a bee is a part of nature.、It was inspired by the idea that the city created by human beings is also a part of nature.。I once described the previous work and this work as "a relationship like the front and back of a coin".、For example, make sure that a piece of pure white paper has no back or front.、The human world and the insect world are also inextricably linked.、The little ones who have lived on this planet since ancient times are called "insect seniors" with respect.。Also, the title "Tokyo Debugger" has the simple meaning of "searching for bugs in Tokyo."、Is it really insects or human beings that are "debugged" in the history of the earth? With the metaphor。Maybe、The human world is insignificant compared to the history of senior insects.、Suddenly popping into their world、It may be a ephemeral existence that disappears quietly before long.。 —— Shinya Arimoto Happy New Year。Also thank you this year。 2021The first exhibition of the year will be held at Zen Foto Gallery in Roppongi。Roll-sized baryta prints made in the darkroom at the end of last year、It will be displayed in a well-framed manner。16All the × 20inch works have been reprinted for this time.。I hope you can see it at the venue.。A new photo book with the same name is also on sale in the gallery.。Please look for the hand。 In addition, from 19:00 on Saturday, January 30 during the session、At Zen Foto Gallery's Instagram account、We will deliver a talk live with photo critic Kenji Takazawa as a guest.。This time it will be a delivery-only event with no audience。Follow @zen_foto_gallery to watch。

That's why I used only two rolls of photographic paper in the warehouse of ILFORD in the UK.、Arrange to have it sent by airmail in a hurry。Although the fare has been added to the price、It's an unavoidable expense to display using regular photographic paper。Stayed in the darkroom last weekend、I managed to complete 3 cuts by the deadline。It was a very thrilling battle。The image is a roll print waiting for a frame。From January 14th next year、It will be unveiled at ZEN FOTO GALLERY in Roppongi。 Obtaining photographic paper、We would like to thank Mr. Kojima, the owner of Lime Light Gallery in Osaka, for his efforts.。 The monk also runs、Photographer also runs、It was one act of such a december。
