Eiji Ohashi
大橋 英児
Born in Hokkaido in 1955 Kyoto University of the Arts Graduate School of Art, Department of Fine Arts, Master of Fine Arts(MFA)
In 2008, started the project “Roadside Lights” with vending machines.
The reason why I take a photo of a vending machine is that it will make us see hope and inspiration when we see shiny things in the middle of a dark night.also most of my theme revolves around a vending machine in the middle of a snow storm
Published in many media such as CNN, BBC, SPIGEL.
