Kei Ito’s work expands photography through camera-less processes, sound, and material transformation. Drawing from his family history as a third-generation Hiroshima atomic bomb survivor, Ito explores memory, war, and the invisible forces that shape both human and environmental experience. This site-specific installation invites reflection on cycles of conflict, sacrifice, and the fragile possibility of healing.Museum Hours:
