The Third Gallery Aya is pleased to announce a solo show titled "JPEG" which is a memorial exhibition of the publication of a photo book by Kajitani Naoki.
"JPEG" was also exhibited in "every stroller can change the world.-Contemporary Japanese Photography vol.12 " at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography from last December to January.

The artist has been using a digital camera to take flimsy and kitschy landscapes which exist everywhere in the countryside of Japan. And he named this series "JPEG," which is a common method of lossy compression for digital photography and represents "Japan". This way seems to symbolize recent Japan.
