Jin Ohashi participates in “Contemporary Art & Photography in Japan: STILL/ALIVE”

Jin Ohashi, an Excellence Award winner at New Cosmos of Photography 1993 (the 8th competition) is exhibiting his new works in “Contemporary Art & Photography in Japan: STILL/ALIVE,” a group exhibition held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. This is the sixth event in a series of exhibitions held by the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography to introduce Japanese up-and-coming artists. The main focus of this exhibition is on four artists in their thirties who use photography and images/film as their means of expression to develop their central theme of “contemporary people’s lives and times, and their expression.” You shouldn’t miss this exhibition to see how Jin Ohashi, who has tried to grasp the real meaning of life and death, shows his world through his work. We hope that you will take this opportunity to attend the exhibition.
