Kenta Cobayashi's Portraits at NonostanteMarras during Photo Vogue Festival 2019
During the Photo Vogue Festival 2019 in Milan, the Japanese artist Kenta Cobayashi (born 1992) presented 'Portraits' at NonostanteMarras, the showroom of fashion designer Antonio Marras located at via Cola di Rienzo 8. Curated by Marcella Manni, the exhibition featured a selection of portraits taken during long nighttime walks through Tokyo. Cobayashi's digital manipulation creates images that appear scratched, exploring dimensional interferences and multiple layers of reality. The works combine faithful portraiture with digital alterations that modify details and contours. The exhibition was produced by Metronom, a gallery based in Modena that promotes research projects on contemporary visual culture, including conferences, residencies, meetings, and publications. 'Portraits' ran until December 8, 2019.
