Architecture in Kyoto — machiya townhouses, temple gardens, and contemporary interventions navigating the tension between preservation and reinvention. Art galleries, tea rooms, concept stores, and residences in Japan's cultural capital.
Climate emergency photography fails when it tries to perform urgency at the speed of news. Climax collects work that does the opposite — Hatakeyama's return-photographs at Rikuzentakata, the slow record of thawing permafrost, salt lakes drying to outline, olive groves erased into parking, skies emptied of stars. Less argument than archive, less urgency than memory.
