Anarchyº1
Anarchyº1
$39.00

Anarchyº1 is a striking black and white photobook born from ephemere.'s inaugural open call and first group exhibition. This compendium of monochromatic images spans diverse genres, styles, and themes, presenting a picturesque chaos that epitomizes mono-mania. Featuring 143 photographers from around the globe, Anarchyº1 showcases a rich tapestry of perspectives. Guest curators Satomi Sugiyama, Trey Derbes, and Jim Herrington, each with a unique eye for black and white photography, collaborated with gallery founder Anne Murayama, who herself is devoted to the craft and aspires to make Anarchy an annual series.


  • At Ephemere, we are deeply inspired by the short-lived—the French concept of éphémère—and the Japanese philosophy of mono no aware, which finds a poignant beauty in the impermanence of all things.

    We explore this truth through personal and meaningful visual narratives, championing the tangible power of photobooks to preserve these fragile memories.

    Through our annual Ephemere Photo Fest, we foster dialogue and build a community dedicated to celebrating the delicate, fleeting fragments of our world.

    Ephemere was founded in August 2023 by Anne Murayama.
