« The Circle is the ultimate system, representing the birth, life, and death of all Nature’s creations. Everything is connected to this circle, intersecting and expanding. Creating a powerful pattern, showing us the fragility and beauty of our existence. Through our exhibitions everyone is invited to imagine their own role in the great “Circle of Life”. »
Lucille Reyboz & Yusuke Nakanishi, Kyotographie Founders & Co-Executive Directors
