About Artist
©︎Paolo Pellegrin
現代美術家／写真家。画像生成AIを「形而上のカメラ」と見立てて意図的に誤用しながら、「見る」ことを支配する不可視のシステムを問う。光学技術、データとメディア、人の認知、社会制度といったブラックボックスが相互に絡み合う循環を、写真の内側から組み立て直す。心理学、公衆衛生、金融、ITを横断したのち報道写真家として活動を開始した。1988年愛知生まれ、東京在住。
主な個展に「Anatomy of Caves」HECTARE（2025）、「Aim an Arrow at the Rock in the Ocean」Mynavi Art Square（2024）、「Age of Photon/ INCIDENTS」IMA gallery（2020）。参加展覧会にAuckland Festival of Photography（NZ、2024）、浅間国際フォトフェスティバル（2023）、「Platform 29.8」ANB Tokyo（2022）、KG+ SELECT 2021（2021）、「LUMIX MEETS/ BEYOND 2020 BY JAPANESE PHOTOGRAPHERS #6」（2019）など。Amanaとのデジタルヒューマン開発、Forbes JAPANやPrada x IMAなどへのアートワーク提供、AshnikkoのMV日本側プロデュースなど、領域を横断して協働を展開している。
JAPAN PHOTO AWARD・Elisa Medde賞（2024）、TOKYO FRONTLINE PHOTO AWARD・川島崇志賞（2022）受賞。主な出版物に『Typical World』（bookshop M）、『あの海に見える岩を、弓で射よ』（Troublemakers Publishing）。作品は東京都写真美術館に収蔵されている。
Contemporary artist and photographer. Deliberately misusing generative AI as a "metaphysical camera," he interrogates the invisible systems that govern how we see. Working from within photography as a medium, he engages the circuit in which black boxes—optical technology, data and media, human cognition, and social institutions—mutually constitute one another. A background spanning psychology, public health, finance, and IT before beginning his career as a photojournalist grounds his capacity to observe these systems from the outside. Born in Aichi in 1988; based in Tokyo.
Selected solo exhibitions include Anatomy of Caves (HECTARE, 2025), Aim an Arrow at the Rock in the Ocean (Mynavi Art Square, 2024), and Age of Photon / INCIDENTS (IMA gallery, 2020). Group exhibitions include the Auckland Festival of Photography (New Zealand, 2024), Asama International Photo Festival (2023), Platform 29.8 (ANB Tokyo, 2022), KG+ SELECT 2021 (2021), and LUMIX MEETS / BEYOND 2020 BY JAPANESE PHOTOGRAPHERS #6 (2019). Working across disciplines, he has collaborated with Amana on digital human development, provided artwork for Forbes JAPAN and Prada x IMA, and served as local producer in Japan for Ashnikko's music video.
Awards and selections include JAPAN PHOTO AWARD, Elisa Medde Prize (2024) and TOKYO FRONTLINE PHOTO AWARD, Takashi Kawashima Prize (2022).
His work is held in the collection of the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum.
