Photo Gallery [Sirius], operated by AIDEM Inc. (Shinjuku-ku, Shinjuku; Representative Director: Ryo Kabayama), which plans and publishes recruitment advertisements, will hold the ZP Photography Club 'ZNONZ Photo Exhibition: The Choice Not to Capture Too Much' from Thursday, April 2 to Wednesday, April 15.
The 'ZP Photography Club' will hold a photo exhibition using the 'zone plate,' a photographic tool that does not use a lens.
This exhibition introduces expression that distances itself from quantified photographic performance such as resolution and sharpness, and actively embraces elements such as light bleeding, fluctuation, and halation.
The zone plate was developed with the aim of capturing the 'air' of the atmosphere and impression of the place - including temperature, humidity, and the rustling of the wind. The works lined up in this photo exhibition place importance on creating 'pictures' like impressionist paintings that are left to the senses of the viewer, rather than clear outlines.
Through this exhibition, which reexamines the act of 'capturing', we invite you to experience at the venue the freedom that photography originally possessed and the appeal of 'pictures' that quietly act on the viewer's senses. (Number of exhibited items: 40)
## 'ZP Photography Club'
The ZP Photography Club is a community of professional and high-amateur photography enthusiasts who have gathered to explore photographic expression using zone plates (ZP).
Using 'ZNONZ,' a lensless optical device for cameras, we are facing emotional expression that draws a line from the current situation of being entirely devoted to resolution and sharpness, and photographic expression that actively accepts coincidence.
## About 'ZNONZ'
ZNONZ is a lensless optical device for cameras that uses a concentric optical element called a zone plate instead of a general lens for shooting.
Unlike lenses that use the phenomenon of light refraction, zone plates are characterized by unique halation that utilizes the characteristics of diffraction phenomena, soft depiction that is not dominated by long/short distances, and a wide image circle.
ZNONZ commercializes these characteristics of the zone plate into a small, lightweight, and inexpensive product.
The state of the photo exhibition will also be introduced on the 'Sirius Blog'!
