Info

Art Museum Police is a photography project that seeks to document the reactions and emotions individuals experience while navigating the curated spaces of art galleries and museums. It aims to focuse on the subtle, often unspoken dialogue between the viewer and the artwork.

The project’s title, Art Museum Police, draws inspiration from the fictional concept of Toshokan Keisatsu(Library Police)—as presented in Tomihiko Morimi’s literature. Much like the fictional entity tasked with overseeing the regulation and protection of information in libraries, this project metaphorically positions itself as an observer of human behavior within the structured environment of cultural institutions. Through this lens, the camera serves as both witness and recorder, framing the responses that artworks elicit and the interaction between individuals and the space around them.
