Brief Explanation

We reinvented the traditional and ignored sun shades on top of all the stores of Photo Kanon around Tokyo. (Photo Kanon is a premium range of camera shops specializing in instant cameras like Polaroid and Fuji Instax) First we took several portraits of trendy youngsters. The best were then printed, with the iconic white frame, on a giant scale and made into sunshades. Finally, we hung the sunshades on the exterior of the Photo Kanon shops. As people walked past they triggered the instant photo automatic mechanism accompanied with the distinctive sound of an instant photo being taken, and the shade came out as if printing an instant photo into the street.
