Ricoh Imaging Company, Ltd. will hold a special exhibition titled

The "Film Camera Project" under the PENTAX brand, launched at the end of 2022 as a challenge to create new film cameras, has been progressing with the cooperation of many people since its announcement.
This exhibition will feature a photo exhibition by Shiori Iwakura, who resonates with the "Film Camera Project," a display of back issues of the magazine "BARFOUT!" that explores various artists, and a selection of past PENTAX film cameras, prototypes, and now-rare original blueprints from the era of these film cameras.

In Shiori Iwakura's photo exhibition, with the full cooperation of Ilford Japan Co., Ltd., the Japanese general agent for the film brand "Ilford" beloved by enthusiasts worldwide, regardless of whether they are professionals or amateurs, she will present newly shot works using monochrome film, a first for her, alongside works shot on color film.
