SEEN: Diorama Maps. Sohei Nishino
One of the rising stars of the contemporary Japanese photography, 28-year old Sohei Nishino’s extraordinary work is monumental in scope, size and detail, mapping out his personal impression of the world’s major cities.
These intimately detailed collages are an imperfect mix of landmarks and iconic features conceived from his personal ‘re-experiencing’ of a city.
Over 3 months, 4,000 photographs were selected, hand printed and painstakingly put together with scissors and glue.
This work and others are at the Michael Hoppen Gallery until April 2nd 2011
