Catalogue Note
Sohei Nishino began working on his Diorama Map series in 2004. As of 2018, he has created twenty maps of different cities around the world. This documentation of urban landscapes was a result of his interest in the understanding and experiencing of a city. The dioramas are not to be taken as a true representation of the city plan, but rather an interpretation of it through a single individual’s eyes. He walks tirelessly through the metropolis, film camera in hand, capturing fragmentary views which he then combines in accordance to his memories. He later arranges the analogue shots into a map that portrays all the singular aspects of the place, resulting in limited edition prints of each city, such as this Diorama of New York.
