Inspired by Glen Snyder’s daily work commute, “Yorumo Hirumo” offers a unique view of life along the Tama River, which separates Kanagawa from the urban metropolis of Tokyo. This marks Snyder’s first gallery showing at ephemere. and showcases a stunning blend of digital and traditional film photography.
Accompanying the show, the photobook Yorumo Hirumo explores the interplay between light and dark, infused with echoes of a traditional Zen verse. Snyder’s collection draws inspiration from noir cinema and the evocative documentary photography of the mid-20th century. As Snyder’s neighborhood undergoes rapid transformation, “Yorumo Hirumo” preserves moments of its past, capturing buildings and streets that exist now only in memories and this artistic documentation. This underscores the vital role of curating and sharing documentary photographic art in capturing fleeting urban landscapes.
