Thoughts behind Tokyo Spectrum

I am Mag, a street photographer/Artist. Here is a brief profile.

Street photographer & artist searching for beauty hidden in everyday life, started his career in December 2021. Based on the technique of street snapshots, he takes photographs with the theme of moments where reality and fiction are ambiguously intermingled and where there is a blank space for the imagination. He is also challenging unconventional photographic expressions such as collaborations, secondary works, and abstract expressions based on photography.

I’m pleased to announce Solana's NFT photo collection "Tokyo Spectrum" at Exchange art.

Outline of the Collection

Tokyo Spectrum

The night in Tokyo is filled with various colors of light. They shine in, reflect, emit, and reflect. There is beauty in the moment when the city and the light blend and become abstract.

Impression in the Solana Chain

I have been developing my work cross-chain with ETH, Ordinals, and Tezos, and have always found it interesting that each chain has a different nature and culture.

While respecting each chain, I wanted to expand the scope of my activities as much as possible, and I learned that artists working in the area of NFT photography were interested in Solana.

The Solana chain was an uncharted area for me, and there were few examples in Japan, but I created the collection with the determination that I would not know unless I jumped into it.

About the photos in the collection

As was the case with "Tokyo Condensation," which was developed as part of the Tezos chain, I prefer abstract expressions. I prefer to use transparency and reflections to capture moments in which it is not clear at first glance what I am photographing, but rather, I deconstruct and reconstruct the elements.

When I thought about what kind of work I wanted to develop for the Solana chain, the color scheme of the Solana logo and website instinctively reminded me of the image of "Tokyo at night, the colors of neon lights.

In reviewing photos of Tokyo at night over the past two years, I curated four photos that were particularly striking. I named the collection "Tokyo Spectrum" because I thought the word "Spectrum" would fit well with the collection of photographs in which light of various colors, the seven colors of visible light, are scattered.

I felt a sense of immersion at the moment when the lights of various colors melted into each other in Tokyo at night. I would be happy if you could feel such a sensation.
