Ryo Minemizu’s New York exhibition
“The Secret World of Plankton”

The photograph is a world of floating organisms captured in black background on the photographs taken with Black Water Dive® in all 24 points.

The exhibition is divided into four themes.

“Cradle of Deep sea”
“Art for defense”
“Adaptation for floating”
“Minimal Jewels” （Square pieces）

In this exhibition, in order to block all elements other than the artistic existence and the point that I wanted to pay particular attention to the unusual appearance of floating organisms, I dared to dress up the work in mat black style It unified.

In addition, in order to feel transparency as contrasted with exhibited works, we also exhibit slideshows and movies on a large LCD display.

Until now, it is a world of floating organisms that has not attracted much attention, but you can see art everywhere to live a small life.
I hope that you will feel as much as they are about the same planet as the whales and dolphins.

We will hold a workshop on cocktail reception (participation free / free) and shooting, so feel free to join us.
