I appreciate how social media lets us discover and share countless images with a simple tap, but there’s a special excitement in holding a photograph in your hands. A printed image carries an intimacy and emotional depth that can spark a real personal connection. When you flip through a magazine or photo book, you’re not just looking—you’re taking in an artist’s vision on your own terms, privately, in your own space, with deep focus.

Then there’s the gallery or exhibition, where that personal bond becomes a shared experience. Conversations flow, curiosity grows, and ideas unfold in real time. Digital platforms still have their place, but by embracing both the calm focus of magazines and photo books, and the communal energy of exhibitions, we allow photography to move beyond the everyday and spark moments of genuine wonder.

Silent Distances — Andrei Barbos

to Nov 10

Silent Distances — Andrei Barbos

Silent Distances explores the haunting experience of derealization through photography. This visual journey captures the disorienting sensation of feeling both connected and isolated, as familiar landscapes appear distant and surreal. Each image serves as a bridge between reality and perception, revealing the quiet beauty in separation and clarity.

Letters To My Unborn — Eyal Ben Dror

Through a personal narrative of fictional letters to an unborn child paired with documentary photo art, Switzerland-based Israeli author and photographer Eyal Ben Dror presents an introspective photo-literature work.

Ephemere Exhibitions

We organize exhibitions to feature diverse photographic voices and perspectives, often showcasing photographers who haven’t yet had the opportunity to present their work. Our thoughtful curation creates a welcoming space where images and stories can engage viewers. Each exhibition serves as a platform for both emerging and established artists.

Our exhibitions prioritize visual literacy, encouraging visitors to engage with photography meaningfully. Various narratives and styles are showcased, emphasizing the richness and complexity of visual storytelling. By providing a platform for a wide range of photographers, the exhibitions broaden the scope of perspectives shared with the audience.

We offer valuable exposure within Tokyo’s creative community. Our platform provides a curated, immersive setting that highlights each artist's work and invites deeper connections. Each project receives personal attention, supporting photographers in expanding their audience while growing the platform's reach.

Friends of Ephemere

These are the photos of some of the many wonderful people who have graced our humble space with their presence — exhibitors, curators, guests, and friends. Some of these photos were taken during art events that we have participated in. We are grateful for your warm support!
