A new exhibition, 7 Days & 7 Years, opens today in Shibuya, Tokyo — a photography showcase capturing the city through two timelines: one fleeting, the other enduring.

Featuring a collection of photographs by Erick Rosa, Chief Creative Officer at Publicis Groupe Japan, and Brazilian filmmaker and photographer Iris Fuzaro, the exhibition runs until 12 October at Tokyo’s Oak Cube Gallery.
Rosa, originally from Rio de Janeiro, has called Tokyo home for the past seven years. Armed with a pocket digital camera, he has quietly documented his life in Japan, frame by frame, moment by moment, every day since he arrived seven years ago.

Fuzaro contributes a contrasting perspective: a seven-day photographic journey through Japan, captured entirely on film.
The exhibition prompts viewers to reflect on how our sense of time, whether compressed into fleeting moments or stretched across years, shapes the way we observe, interpret and preserve the world through photography.

Commenting on the inspiration for the exhibition, Publicis Groupe Japan Chief Creative Officer Rosa said: “This city is [so] so kind and photogenic. The more you roam its streets, the more in love you fall. Every second feels like a privilege. So, after 7 years, this is my way of showing appreciation. What a pleasure it is to share this with Iris and Lucas.”

Fuzaro, who is based in LA, added: “I loved the idea of capturing Japan in 7 days with the immediacy that time imposes, but with the patience and surprise that film photography demands; and contrasting these images with Erick’s, who has been documenting his daily routine over the past 7 years with all the time in the world, with the thousands of frames and instant gratification his digital camera allows.”

The experience is accompanied by an original sound installation from Emmy Award-winning and Grammy-nominated Brazilian music producer Lucas Mayer, whose sonic landscape bridges the two visual narratives.
