Expand Your Horizons: The Tempusgraph Workshop

On September 9, 2025, the Eastoujo Photo Institute in Chiyoda, Tokyo, will host an innovative workshop titled "Tempusgraph: Expanding the Horizons of Photography". This exciting event, in collaboration with Vixen Co., Ltd., invites participants to explore the fascinating connections between light, time, and photography.

The workshop will take place during the ongoing Tempusgraph photography exhibition at the Eastoujo Photo Institute, showcasing immersive installations that allow guests to relive important milestones in the history of photography.
