Published to accompany Chris Rhodes’ Tokyo exhibition Exhausts, Astoria is a publication that brings together quiet observations, fragments and atmospheric details reflecting the artist’s distinctive way of looking. Moving through streets, interiors, surfaces and passing moments, the work builds a subtle portrait of place through the overlooked and incidental.

Rather than offering a direct narrative, Astoria unfolds as a collection of visual impressions: textures, gestures, objects and traces of everyday life. In dialogue with Exhausts, the publication extends Rhodes’ interest in atmosphere, rhythm and the poetry of the ordinary, inviting slow looking and close attention.
