Sohei Nishino — London from Diorama Map
Sohei Nishino

London from Diorama Map

Sohei Nishino's *London from Diorama Map* is a large-scale archival pigment print, flush-mounted, that emerges from the artist's painstaking process of walking the city, shooting thousands of individual film photographs, and hand-assembling them into a sweeping, collaged bird's-eye view. The resulting image blurs the boundary between map and memory, presenting London as a richly textured, almost topographic landscape shaped by personal experience rather than objective geography. The flush mounting enhances the work's immersive quality, drawing the viewer into its dense, fragmented cityscape as though peering down from an impossible vantage point.
