Tokyo Cinderella Dolls

2015.1 - SPRMRKT - SINGAPORE

My 1st exhibition in Singapore.

Shot in the streets of Shibuya, Omotesando, Ginza and Asakusa as the sun faded on 4 September 2014,
Tokyo Cinderella Dolls is a photography exhibition that tells the fantasy of two dolls who wished to be real girls.
Their fantasy comes to life in the streets of Tokyo.

Just like Cinderella who had till midnight to attend the Prince’s ball, the dolls, whose momentaryquickening would soon end,
explore the city they had previously only dreamed about as the sun set on Tokyo.

The whimsical images show the dolls-turned-girls experiencing the everyday lives of Japanese youths,
eating street food, taking a selfie and riding the train, until night falls and dollhood beckons.
