Zen Foto Gallery is pleased to present “Kiss,” a solo exhibition of Kanaria’s work from August 20 to September 11, 2021. This exhibition marks the eleventh year of Kanaria’s solo exhibition at Zen Foto Gallery every summer since 2011. Kanaria just came back to Tokyo from Paris last year, after living in Paris for about 7 years. This will be the first exhibition of her works created from a new perspective.

“When I am on a train, there are times when I feel like kissing the stranger who is sitting next to me. I want to kiss everyone in turn.

I drew a variety of kisses.”
