Join Tamara and Yoshi of IPG Project for a signing of their book Sumimasen and drinks.

Sumimasen is the debut volume from IPG Project, the New York–based art duo Tamara and Yoshi Kametani, presented in a limited edition hardback book sold in the US exclusively by the ICP Store.

Sumimasen questions the concept of privacy and identity through Mayura (a pornographic actress living in Tokyo). By obscuring Mayura's face with a mask, the photographers seek to challenge the very notion of identity. It is the face that misleadingly represents the essence of individuality. The use of a mask emphasizes the idea that people need not reveal their faces to have their privacy breached. More than the face itself, it is a person's actions that primarily define their identity.
