Hiroshima: Shinjo Shota (Paulo) Brings Football Fever to His ‘Night Field Stroll’ Exhibition
Shinjo Shota (Paulo), a rising star in the photography scene, is set to ignite football fervor with his upcoming exhibition, "Night Field Stroll," in Hiroshima. This event, scheduled for April 26-28 at ANCHORET, promises an immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional sports photography. Sponsored by Adidas Football, the exhibition is part of the larger "TOXGO" event series that celebrates football and Tokyo’s street culture.
Inspiration from Childhood Memories
Shinjo Shota (Paulo) draws inspiration from his childhood football memories, capturing the essence of Tokyo’s streets at night. "Tokyo Night" is a theme that resonates with streetlights, empty lots, and the faint glow of hollowed-out fields. By intersecting these abstract photographs with images of football, Shinjo creates a unique blend of sports and fashion that reflects his personal experiences and fresh interpretations of football culture.
Black & White Communication
In conjunction with the exhibition, the "B&W communication" event will foster new ways of football engagement. This initiative, supported by Adidas Football, involves creating non-sale pullovers and set-ups, encouraging participants to "kick the ball together locally." Through these interactive installations, Shinjo aims to foster a new form of football communication.
