Visit the border between the manmade and the supernatural in nocturnal Japan.
Łukasz Rusznica came to Japan as part of the European Eyes on Japan initiative which invites photographers based in Europe to the prefectures (or regions) of Japan. “You are assigned one prefecture. And after the residency you make a small book. The idea is that by the end this project will map all of Japan. I was invited last year along with photographer Jon Cazenave. I spent six weeks in Kagawa province, mostly in Takamatsu.”

From the Contemporary Lynx archives:
Contemporary Lynx, as the media partner of the Warsaw Gallery Weekend, has the pleasure to invite you to a discussion about private museums established by private collectors. This topic is particularly interesting and relevant as more and more such projects move from the realm of pure idea through a realistic vision and into actual reality.
