Akio Nagasawa Gallery Aoyama is pleased to announce the opening of "CTY," an exhibition of works by Antony Cairns.
Antony Cairns (b. London, 1980) takes photographs at night, using the available light cast by buildings in urban centers like London, Tokyo and Los Angeles. He has exhibited and published widely, in Europe, the United States and Japan. He lives and works in London.

"CTY" at Akio Nagasawa Gallery brings together some early works of Antony Cairns alongside some new editions also.
Cairns' LDN aluminium plates will be on show for the first time in Japan. These Silver Gelatin coated aluminium plates give a feeling of illumination, this feeling is repeated within the other work on show.
CTY Slide Viewer will also be showing, this work consists of refurbished vintage slide viewers used to present duplicate transparencies of the Original 35 reserved processed film that Cairns often uses when making photographs of the city.
TYO2 Inverted will also be presented for the first time, a screen-printed portfolio of cairns last photographs of Tokyo, this time however the plates have been inverted reversing the original darkroom process to essentially make negative images from the original transparencies.
