Outside the Box: images of contemporary Japanese architecture by Edmund Sumne

hh style, Tokyo (2005), Archival Lamda Print, © Edmund Sumner

During the last five years, British architectural photographer, Edmund Sumner, has taken over 2,500 images of contemporary architecture in Japan. A selection of these photographs will be exhibited for the first time at Daiwa Foundation Japan House.

Sumner’s keen eye, in this sense, convolutes with the desires of another culture (one that is quintessentially foreign to him). And so it is through the eye of an outsider that we see contemporary Japanese architecture reflected in a new light.
