Our abandoned photography exhibition closed in success this past Sunday. The “Vibrancy 2019” exhibit was held from 13 March – 17 March 2018 (now closed), and we had a great turnout! Thank you so much to everyone for stopping by.

廃墟写真展” Vibrancy 2019 ” 。 2018/3/13(水)-3/17(日)という短い期間でしたが、たくさんのご来場誠にありがとうございました!本イベントは大盛況のうちに無事に閉会となりました。




Our Very First Exhibition はじめてだらけの写真展
This was first time for us to hold an exhibit all on our own. We started planning from November of 2018 and ran back and forth for three consecutive months. It was as if we were preparing for an annual cultural festival at school (except this time was for adults) from deciding which photos to use, printing and layout, concept designing, and so forth. This experience allowed me to have an honest look into creativity, and realized once again that being creative is so much fun.

自分たちで作る展示会として全てがはじめての経験だらけ。大人の文化祭のようなノリで仲間たちと2018年11月から企画立案し、そこから三か月、コンセプトデザインにはじまり、写真の吟味、印刷用紙の選定、グッズ制作まで「ああ、モノづくりってこんなに楽しいんだ」とクリエイティブの根源を見直す意味でも勉強にもなりました。Opportunity and Experienceって大事ですね。

Positive Comments and Feedbacks
So many people came up to talk to me and received tons of kind remarks. One of them told me that my website is the reason they started urban exploration. It has been 10 years since I started this website, and that comment made me especially happy.

会期中たくさんの方にお声がけいただきましたが、「Tomboy Urbexのウェブサイトを見て廃墟探索や写真をはじめました!」と言われたときは、本当にうれしかった!ウェブサイトを開設してから10年たちますが、うん、ワシまだやれそうな気がする…と来場者の方々に勇気をたくさんもらった写真展でした。Thanks!
