Containers in Tokyo

September 8, Sat., 2018 — October 13, Sat., 2018
Case Tokyo

To celebrate the release of Containers in Tokyo, Yusuke Inoue’s first photobook, CASE TOKYO will hold an exhibition of Inoue’s series from September 8 until October 13.

Inoue’s series takes shipping containers moving through the city as its subject. Inoue freezes these containers in place, in front of a variety of backgrounds in Tokyo, using very high shutter speeds. The containers, captured with the exact same size and position in each photograph, become exemplative of the logistics system embedded in the city.

A purchasable special edition which includes an original frame designed and hand-made by the artist himself will be part of the exhibition.

September 8, Sat., 2018 — October 13, Sat., 2018
Open: Tuesday - Saturday / 11:00-19:00
Closed on: Mondays, Sundays & holidays
**Closed at 16:00 on September 16, Sat for the talk event**
