Yesterday I reported on GUNDAM, 28 Years After so I thought I would also mention the Gundam-esque “The Four Cutie Fighters“ exhibition of photographs by the “LAYER Project” that was held at Tokyo’s ritzy Aoyama Gallery.

A rough translation of the artists’ Introduction webpage shows the purpose of this project was to create, “an expression of new eroticism as a refined art.”

The artist, Hiroyuki Hayashida, writes that he is, “groping for a new eroticism that is sensitive to the changes to Japanese society.” His LAYER Project’s theme in this exhibition is “transformation,” a process in which, “four female high school students disguise themselves as a squadron of heroines.”
Ri-i-ight, whatever.
