Ace Hotel Kyoto presents a photography exhibition by Tokyo-based photographer
Kohey Kanno, whose work has received recognition through international awards.
Through a sequence of everyday images, Kanno explores visual expressions that unravel the structures of society and the ways communities are formed.
Guided by the enduring idea that “the personal is political,”
the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of a diverse society through photographs shaped by his distinct perspective.
