Miwa Yanagi
After receiving the MFA from Kyoto City University of Arts, photographer Miwa Yanagi held her first solo exhibition in Kyoto 1993. After 1996, she began participating in exhibitions internationally. Her solo exhibition was held at the Guggenheim Museum in Germany in 2004, and later at Marugome Genichiro Inokuma Museum of Contemporary Art and Hara Museum in 2005. Yanagi has continuously examined female stereotypes and issues surrounding individual identity throughout her career.
Showcased in this exhibition are around 30 photographs from the "My Grandmothers" series which Yanagi started in 2000 and received high acclaim internationally. The series portrays what young women imagine themselves to be in 50 years later. Text accompanies each photograph, revealing details of their dreams that Yanagi picked up from conversations she had with her sitters.
In 2009, Yanagi will represent Japan at the Venice Biennale.
