と＆｜“＆”opens a new world.

「と」は、日本語でいちばん小さな接続詞です。 けれど、世界のかたちを決めているのはこの小さな一文字かもしれません。 「自分と他者」「男と女」「自然と都市」——私たちはいつの間にか、「と」をどちらかを選ぶための区切りとして使っています。ですが、表裏一体や陰陽という言葉があるようにアジアには二項対立ではない「ものの見方」があるはずです。 写真は、もともと「と」の芸術です。撮る者と、写る者の眼差しが交差し、写真となった世界の断片は並べられ繋がり、作品と、見る者が、静かに触れる。 T3 2026は、世界中の写真家たちとともにこの最も小さな接続詞「と」から世界の可能性を問い直す24日間です。
 The word と, meaning "and," is the smallest conjunction in the Japanese language. Yet this single word may shape the way we understand the world.
"Self and other," "man and woman," nature and city"—almost without realizing it, we use "and" as a boundary between opposites that leads us to choose one or the other. At the same time, Asia must surely offer ways of seeing that move beyond binary opposition, as reflected in expressions such as "two sides of the same whole" and "yin and yang." Photography has always been an art form of "and." The gaze of the photographer and the gaze of the subject intersect, and fragments of the world transformed into photographs are arranged and connected, bringing the work and the viewer into a quiet encounter. Over 24 days, T3 2026 brings together photographers from around the world to reconsider the possibilities of our world through the smallest conjunction と.
