Curating art, narrating reality.
A place where creativity and research meet.
Here are our projects:
Portraits exhibition by the young Japanese artist Kenta Cobayashi will open at Nonostante Marras, curated by Marcella Manni for the Photo Vogue Festival 2019.
The exhibition features a selection of portraits collected by Cobayashi during his nocturnal walks through Tokyo or while traveling. His works are striking images that appear almost scratched, the result of the artist’s exploration of intentional dimensional interference. His act of connecting and interweaving different universes is the synthesis of time and space that Cobayashi conveys in his work. He demonstrates how various layers of reality can be navigated through digital media. The digital manipulation of images, using processing programs, becomes part of his unique visual language. This approach reflects his effort to explore and understand the complexity of the present moment.
Kenta Cobayashi (1992, Tokyo) lives and works in Tokyo, primarily focusing on photography, video, and virtual reality. His aesthetic is rooted in digital imagery, where the pixel and its variations play a central role. Trained at Tokyo Zokei University, he has exhibited in solo shows such as Photographic Universe, Fotografia Europea, Reggio Emilia (2019); Rapid Eye Movement, IMA Gallery, Tokyo (2019); and #Photo, G/P Gallery, Tokyo (2019). He has also participated in group exhibitions like Photo Playground, Ginza Sony Park, Tokyo (2019).
