Artist-led Gallery Tour: つぐ、つむぐ。- Inherit, Imagine. -
Taihei Soejima
13/14 Cornwall Terrace, Outer Circle (entrance facing Regent's Park), London NW1 4QP
Organised by the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation
Join us for a gallery tour of the duo exhibition, つぐ、つむぐ。- Inherit, Imagine. – , led by one of the artists, Taihei Soejima.
Soejima straddles the apparently conflicting technologies of analogue photography and generative AI, together with painting, to show photography’s function as a recording medium. The concept of authenticity in histories and stories is being undermined by technological developments, and he poses to us the fundamental question of what sort of stories we need for our human existence in the age of the AI boom.
Taihei Soejima will be in the gallery to lead the tour, offering a special opportunity to hear directly from the artist about his work and the exhibition.
About the Artist
Taihei Soejima
Photography based Artist.
He graduated from the Department of Sculpture, Faculty of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts, and completed his Master of Arts in Global Art Practice (GAP) at the same university. Following his role as an Education & Research Assistant at the university’s Photography Center, he taught at the TUMO Center for Creative Technologies in Armenia. His experiences in Armenia led him to his current artistic theme: “What kind of stories are necessary for humans to be human?” He was based in the UK from 2023 to 2026, working in London as an overseas researcher supported by the Pola Art Foundation in 2024 and the Yoshino Gypsum Art Foundation in 2025. Bridging analogue and digital photography as well as generative AI, his work, which focuses on the relationship between humans and narratives, is exhibited both in Japan and overseas.
