SIP&SOUND with Haruki Yamada

“無常Ⅱ” — Photography Exhibition & Reception

SIP&SOUND returns to celebrate the release of photographer Haruki Yamada’s new photobook, Mujō II, along the 1F Corridor and at Stumptown Coffee Roasters at ACE HOTEL KYOTO.

Taking place across the 1F Corridor and Stumptown Coffee, the afternoon brings together photography, coffee, DJs, and sound through an exhibition and gallery reception for Mujō II.

Joining us behind the decks are NiSSiE, SHUN145, and DROAM.

From 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm, NICKELMAN will perform a special beat live set of “Kyōkei,” a soundtrack created specifically for Mujō II.

“Kyōkei” brings together skate photography, street snapshots, scenes from the changing seasons, and field recordings captured by Haruki himself. NICKELMAN selected and edited these sounds to create a soundtrack that reflects the world of Mujō II.

Come experience the world of Mujō II through both photography and sound.

The exhibition will be on view from December 12 through December 20.

After the reception, the night continues at PIOPIKO on the 2nd floor with an after party from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm.

Artist Statement / ステートメント

Based in Kyoto, I let the navigator’s voice steer me east, west—and yeah, north and south, too.

Focusing mainly on skateboarding and Kyoto’s portable shrines (mikoshi), I capture the landscapes and people I encounter on the road. Both skating and mikoshi carry a kind of beauty you can only understand once you step inside those worlds; it’s that raw, gritty edge flickering beneath the surface that really moves me. Beauty isn’t just about what looks pristine—it reveals itself moment by moment, frame by frame.

Driven by these feelings, I put together a photo zine for the first time in years. To top it off, this edition comes with an original soundtrack by NICKELMAN. You can listen to it via the QR code on the final page, so please take your time, look, listen, and feel.

京都を拠点にナビゲーターの声に導かれ東へ西へ。あ、北も南も。

スケボーと京都の神輿の写真を中心に旅先で出会った景色や人を残す。

スケボーも神輿もその世界に入り込まないと感じれない美しさがあり、見え隠れするその泥臭さに僕の心が揺さぶられる。綺麗なものだけが美しいではなく、一度ずつ、一枚ずつ…

そんな想いで今回数年ぶりに写真集(ZINE)を作りました。しかも今回はNICKELMANさんのサウンドトラック付き。最後のページのQRコードから聴けるようになってるので、ゆっくり見ながら聴きながら感じながらどうぞ。

よろしくお願いし〼。
