Tsuyoshi Ozawa, Motoyuki Shitamichi
“MAM Collection 001,”introduces Asia as seen by two artists from different generations, Ozawa Tsuyoshi (born 1965) and Shitamichi Motoyuki (born 1978), under the title “Two Asian Maps.” Since the late 1980s, Ozawa has traveled the world photographing scenes with a statue of Jizo, the guardian deity of travelers and children, symbolizing traditional Japanese scenery and here exhibits work from this “Jizoing” series shot around Asia. From 2006 through to 2012, Shitamichi Motoyuki photographed torii gates that still remain standing outside Japanese as relics of the Japanese imperialism and the Pacific War. From Taiwan and Korea, which were ruled by Japan from the Meiji period until the end of the war, to Sakhalin and Saipan, the history and present of these now shrine-less torii are calmly revealed. From the paths these artists traced through Asia, audiences will gain insights not only into political and social changes in the region, but also into the accumulated activities of the people who live there.
