This exhibition features the work of renowned Japanese photographer Issei Suda, who lived from 1940 to 2019.

His photographs encapsulate fleeting moments that navigate the line between reality and fiction.
Each image offers a narrative that encourages visitors to delve into the various dimensions of Japanese society.
