This is Tokyo Rumando’s third solo exhibition with Zen Foto Gallery and her previous solo exhibition at the gallery was presented almost 4 years ago. Tokyo Rumando’s body of new work “S” incorporates theatrical elements, which transforms her self-portraits from a story into a play, performed at her own stage theatre, leading the viewer into another time and space. A photobook, under the same title, will be published in conjunction with the exhibition.
