The Kingdom of Bhutan in the Eastern Himalayas is a small country well known for pioneering the concept of Gross National Happiness and preserving its unique culture. Albeit its fairy-tale scenery, it has a wide range of social issues like rising youth unemployment. This may come as a surprise, but recent years have seen a burgeoning hip hop culture among the dissatisfied Bhutanese youth. In society that is both politically conservative and a Buddhist, they are pursuing their dreams of better future through dancing and rapping despite being frowned upon with distain. Kensaku Seki stayed in Bhutan's capital, Thimphu, and shot an-eighteen-year-old man, Kunzan and his friends, who, in turn, painted the graffiti on the images. Representing their fears and hopes, the photographs are displayed to look like pictures and words left upon the walls of public restrooms.

Naoki Honjo makes incredible images that look like surreal miniature landscapes. There are in fact tilt-shift photos taken from high above, of locals relaxing in gloriously green Yoyogi park on a weekend. The extremely narrow field of focus creates the illusion of looking down at a miniature model. Honjo claims this is closer to how we perceive the world around us. Usually, landscape photography is done with a small aperture so that everything is in focus, but that is different from what we actually see. His illusory vision makes us feel as if we are seeing our own lives from a bird's-eye view.

An octopus, a huge pair of shoes, a panda bear and a sphinx… Strange and bizarre objects are lurking in the dark. They are old playground equipment that you find in the play areas of parks and public housing estates all over Japan. Fujio Kito took an unusual approach to photographing playground equipment that is supposed to only provide a fun play experience for children during the day. He shot them in the dark of the night, lit from all directions to create composite images. He says, "When you photograph them at night, they turn into surreal and magical objects." Kito's images attempt to encapsulate the sheer unfamiliarity and otherworldliness of how they look at night as well as the Japanese sense of humor and eccentric sensibility - otherwise, how on earth would anybody put such irrelevant objects in parks?

Kenta Cobayashi stands out as a millennial photographer. As someone born in the post-digital era, Kobayashi has been drawing on computer since he was a child, and his first experience of photography was taking a selfie in one of those purikura machines. He takes snapshots of everyday moments and uses photo editing software to draw on or manipulate his images. For this exhibition, he created a VR installation that takes the viewer through a virtual tour where they can watch still pictures that appear one after another on the surface of the water created with computer graphics. Embrace the immersive virtual experience and witness the expanding potential of photography in this new era of technology as you marvel at the sensation of floating through a virtual cityscape.

As you go down the stairs to the parking lot, on the landing there is an object depicting horses and police cars, suddenly looming large. By editing and giving a shape to images, Satoshi Fujiwara incorporates different time elements into his work: different times of the day; historical contexts; technological advancement accelerated by the evolution of transportation; the time he spent on creating the work; and the amount of time viewers spend with it. Fujiwara's work is situated on the border between images and objects. The images of horses were captured in different contexts and backgrounds, and they take on new contexts and meanings when combined with the images of cars. The resulting output clearly suggests incidents and accidents, but the images have nothing to do with these. One of the most intriguing aspects of Fujiwara's work is how he changes context.
