This magazine, Decades, was launched in 2020 in an attempt to weave together photographs about the perception/illusion of the transformation of experiential time due to rapid changes in social norms under restrictions and lockdowns.
I actually can no longer recall very well the summer of 2020 when we be- gan working for the magazine. What kind of future portends today when various infection-related restrictions are lifted, and days of tension over distance from others are coming to an end? And how will we remember today in the months, years, or decades to come as a memory before whatever happens next?

For the second issue of the photography magazine Decades, we asked ten photographers and ten writers, each around the same age, to contribute essays about their photographs/ events from 2021-22. These happened in Fukushima, Tokyo, Beijing, Hangzhou, Seoul, Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Ishinomaki, Warsaw, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Moldova, California, and Kochi in 2021-22.
