CAPARTY vol.3

A Town Seen from a Peephole

�@

At CAPARTY Vol. 3, using the motif of the former foreign residents' settlement, one of the symbols of Kobe, participants tried to snatch pieces of the area using that peephole called the camera lens. In the Former Foreign Settlement, there are a host of different stories lurking around every corner. The event was a kind of art picnic in which participants could be seen holding C.A.P.'s original map of the area in one hand and disposable cameras with black-and-white film in them in the other. One hundred of the pictures taken were chosen to be included in a volume of photographs.
