About
Tavitian and Moriyama both focus on framing everyday subjects, capturing moments on 35mm film while embracing the unpredictability of the medium. Their work reflects a deep fascination with urban landscapes and a curiosity about the mundane, as they seeks to document the changes and constants in his field of vision. Through their explorations, both photographers use the camera to navigate the complexities of belonging and identity in an ever-shifting human environment.
Curated by Maya Ishiwata and Bjarne Bare, the exhibition Los Angeles x Shinjuku is the inaugural exhibition at the new Nazraeli Showroom opening in Downtown Los Angeles later this year.
