Note from the editor:

In “Un Sedicesimo 61”, Nao Tatsumi uses Google Street View as a choice of painting motifs, as a result of her interest in the idea of being able to see scenes from around the world through a neutral lens.

The QR codes on the pages show the original images, while her paintings are a consequence of looking at the scenes from her subjective point of view. And this is also her approach to contemporary painting.
