7 Digital Originals is a cooperation between Leica and globally selected handcraft artists who carefully transfer digital images taken with Leica T Cameras into individual analog originals. The project dissolves the boundaries between digital and analog and focuses on the value of traditional handcrafts. Every artisan will host an event where they will present their pieces. The artists and cities are as follows: Jennifer Trausch, New York City; Mark Arnon Rosen and Wendy Marvel, Los Angeles; Alfons Alt, Marseilles; Marin Novak, Vienna; Miun, Singapore; Stickyline, Hong Kong; UNUSED, Tokyo.
Furthermore, a Special Edition Leica T Camera System can purchased online. With this purchase, you receive a Handcraft Voucher of the artisan of your choice. This voucher enables you to upload your favorite moment and transform it into your one of a kind Digital Original.
Here we take a look at the final handcraft artist UNUSED. The event celebrating Tailoring takes place tomorrow, October 10 in Tokyo.

UNUSED’s Tailoring
Q: How did your craft develop in the course of the past decades or centuries?
A: My creation is a pile of all the failures I made.
Q: How will your craft and you evolve together in the future?
A: I can never know…. but we always improve ourselves only from mistakes.

Q: Which part of the production process do you like best and why?
A: I love to re-do things from the mistakes.
Q: Which part of the production process is the most tricky one?
A: We do things we have been doing… there is nothing difficult actually. The most difficult part is the difference between the difference between reality and hope.
Q:What is the biggest challenge?
A: It is always a distance between real life and my imagination.
