Taro Mizutani is one of Japan's leading photographers, having worked on numerous magazines including "BRUTUS," brand campaigns, and film productions. While capturing the era through his fashion photography, he has also produced works as an artist, presenting them in exhibitions such as "LOOKIN THROUGH THE WINDOW" and "Byou."

Mizutani's new photo exhibition, "New Hollow," will be held at T&Y Projects in Shinagawa, Tokyo.

This exhibition features 62 old and new black-and-white works that Mizutani shot in Japan, the United States, Iceland, and other countries. Photographs include wooden buildings crumbling under the weight of snow, signs that have lost their meaning, scenery passing by from a car window, and abstract patterns created by nature. The subjects, floating between the artificial and the natural, are represented as if quietly speaking about "emptiness, silence, and memory."

Particularly striking is the "white" that emerges from the monochrome scene. When we close our eyes and look at the whiteness of the snow covering the ground and the sunlight, a mysterious presence emerges along with its absence. What does our perspective capture, and what does the photograph project beyond that white?

The title "New Hollow" embodies the "meanings that have been worn away with the passage of time," the "emptiness created by the afterimage of functionality," and the "gaze toward memory and silence" that appears to permeate it. What will we find in this hollow space through the viewing experience?
