Naked Tokyo:2008 will take place from December 8 (Mon) to December 13 (Sat), 2008 at Tokyo’s Gallery Le Deco (see Google map below). It will feature the work of more than 20 photographers from around the world. Because so many photographers from so many different cultures and backgrounds participate, the shows are usually extremely eclectic, which means that you’ll always find something to surprise you.

The very first Naked Tokyo exhibition took place in Tokyo’s trendy Shibuya district in September 2002. It has been held irregularly ever since.

Naked Tokyo’s most recent show took place in 2007 under the theme Contemporary Portraiture from Tokyo. Naked Tokyo artists were encouraged to explode and expand standard assumptions of portraiture by focusing on self-portraiture, sex, eroticism, and anonymous nudity.

An opening party will be held on December 8 (Mon), from 6 p.m. All are welcome.

Entrance Fee: ¥ 1,000 (includes one glass of wine)
