Photography can capture not only what appears before our eyes but also something invisible yet latently present in the site. Pictures such as those of magnificent natural landscapes, familiar townscapes and ordinary scenes in everyday life can sometimes convey the enormous passage of time and vestiges of memory residing in the site. Questions concerning “the visible” and “the invisible” have been a fundamental theme not only in photography but also in art in general.

This exhibition focuses on the capacity of photography to capture such invisible things, together with considerations towards the gaze into the invisible. This exhibition includes many works that the exhibiting artists specially produced in Maebashi city, where Arts Maebashi is located, and some other areas across Gunma prefecture. Through the different ways the photographers see the world, these works would invite us to see hitherto-unnoticed latent sceneries of Maebashi and its surrounding areas.
