"Koganecho Bazaar - Portrait Studio Project" |
About "Koganecho Bazaar" Two new art studios has opened in the former red-light district of Kogane-cho in Yokohama. These studios form the main venue of the event and will also serve as the location for the opening of Koganecho Bazaar. The aim of Koganecho Bazaar is to regenerate the Koganecho district through the co-existence of art and community, and it can be seen as the first step in this process. "Portrait Studio" Project At one time in every city, there were photo studios that recorded important days in the lives of families. For this event a portrait studio harkening back to the past has re-opened to take commemorative photos of the Kogane-cho residents and visitors providing photo records that can't be seen in our everyday lives. Led by a photographer Takashi Arai, several photographers, such as Shigeo Anzai, participated in this project. --- 「黄金町バザール」について かつて違法な特殊飲食店が軒を連ねていた横浜市黄金町に2つのアートスタジオが新しく建設され、このほか黄金町エリアの各所を拠点として、「黄金町バザール」が開催された。 <写真館>プロジェクト かつてどの街にも在った写真館は、家族の記念日の記憶や人々の絆の記憶を残してきた。ここでは、そうした匂いを残す写真館を再現し、地域の人々や黄金町を訪れた人々の記念の写真を撮影し、日常生活の中で欠かすことのできない写真館を再現する。 [Links] - 黄金町バザールマップ / Koganecho Bazaar Map (pdf) |
