In the fall of 2024, T3 PHOTO ASIA will launch with the aim of becoming an art fair that serves as a hub for photographic culture and the photography market in Asia. We aspire to weave together the past and future stories related to photography. This year’s venue that will become Edition #0 is in Yaesu, a town that has prospered through commerce and culture since the Edo period. Galleries and photographers working internationally out of Asia will come together in this place that has developed as an area where people, things, and culture have gathered since being established as a key point for water and land transport. We truly hope the fine art photography shared through this endeavor will be an opportunity to further enrich photography culture from around the world, and to contemplate the future of photography together with even greater numbers of people.
