The Sasha Wolf Gallery is proud to present the first solo exhibition by photographer Guido Castagnoli. Guido’s photographic exploration of the urban landscape of small Japanese cities takes us far away from the usual stereotypes, which are associated with contemporary Japan.

The pictures neither feature dashing population concentration, nor swiftly expanding or technocratic cities. Furthermore, there are no signs for the rather extreme minimalism, which is often linked with Japans culture. Instead, we find ourselves facing a calming atmosphere and artful resolution, within the slightly surrealistic landscape of the Shizouka quarter.
