Toshiya Murakoshi
Toshiya Murakoshi lives and works in Tokyo. He has used his hometown as a photographic subject since 2006. He is working on this series as if tracing the memory of a place where he was present. This series has been included in five books published since 2008, and also has been exhibited at TAP, an independent gallery of which he is a member.
The 15 works for this exhibition were created at the time when he experienced his grandmother’s death in 2009; the incident was a trigger that prompted an awareness of the relationship between the action of taking photographs of his parents' house and the memory of his family. These works are follow Murakoshi's "until and unless" (published in 2010) and "calendula"(published in 2011). Murakoshi began working on this series at greater pace following the Great East Japan Earthquake. He also exhibits here his past work as well as this series. His work turns on various time axes that cannot be separated from each other.
