Curating art, narrating reality.
A place where creativity and research meet.
Here are our projects:
Inaugurating the solo exhibition Lo strano ordine delle cose by Taisuke Koyama, hosted at the Metronom space. For this occasion, a comprehensive exhibition project has been conceived, featuring a selection of the artist’s works: ten photographic prints of varying sizes and techniques, drawn from the series Rainbow Waves (2013), Revive (2019), and Interface (2019). These works serve as a survey of Koyama’s artistic trajectory and research.
Titled Lo strano ordine delle cose, referencing Antonio Damasio’s eponymous book, the exhibition explores an inquiry into photographic imagery through an unconventional perspective and analytical approach. This distinctive methodology positions Koyama’s language within the contemporary landscape as a precursor to critical themes emerging in the digital transformation of photography. The exhibited works are the culmination of years of experimentation, during which the artist employs abstraction to analyze and deconstruct images—paralleling how scientists examine cellular units under a microscope.The fundamental elements of photography—the capture process, pixels, manipulation, printing—become sites where this scientific investigation challenges traditional notions of image production and consumption.
Born in Tokyo in 1978, Taisuke Koyama lives and works in Tokyo. With a background in biology, he has dedicated himself to photography since 2003, focusing on both physical and digital explorations of image-making.For Koyama, photography is an enhanced form of representation—a powerful lens through which observation is conducted and guided. His work has been featured in numerous solo exhibitions, including Interface at Yuracho, Tokyo (2021); Phase Trans at G/P Gallery, Tokyo (2018); and Sensor_Code at Seen Fifteen Gallery, London (2018).
