Rome: future déjà vu by HASHI
Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo

Saturday 19 September – Sunday 13 December 2009

This exhibition introduces approximately 50 works on the subject of Rome by Hashi (Hashimura Yasuomi) who is based in New York and active worldwide. The works created with "HASHIGRAPHY", Hashi's unique technique, surpass the function of an ordinary photograph that simply freezes a single instant of reality. These works vividly project the unfailing fascination of eternal city of Rome, inviting each and every one of us on an unending voyage through time.
