“Tokyo Before/After” traveling photography exhibition presents a selection of around 80 works, featuring works by photographers who had captured images of Tokyo between 1930-1940 as well as photographs taken after 2010. The 1930–40s prior to World War II had been times in which the current framework of Tokyo had began to take form, and photographers had effectively utilized highly developing means of photographic expression to establish vibrant images of urban space where tradition and modernity contended with one another.
On the other hand, Tokyo since the 2010s, while taking it upon itself to confront and address the fluidizing social circumstances after the Great East Japan Earthquake, is further undergoing a significant transformation following the 2020 Olympic Games. Through comparing photographs for these two distinct periods, the past, present, and future image of Tokyo comes to clearly emerge and reveal itself.
The exhibition serves to encourage a deeper understanding of Tokyo as a vast city of many different faces (7 June- 5 July).
