Toshiya Murakoshi
Born in Sukugawa in Fukushima Prefecture and based in Tokyo, Murakoshi has photographed his hometown since 2006 and continuously produced serene, yet powerful, landscape images that appear to trace his memories of his time spent there. The Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 not only left an indelible mark on the disaster-stricken areas, but also raised serious questions about established values and living practices. After the earthquake, many artists visited the northeast region to produce a variety of works that interrogated their relation to society and posed questions to instigate numerous discussions. Within this context, Murakoshi continued to carefully observe his hometown as he had been doing for years but refrained from verbally addressing what he saw or felt. The title of the current exhibit strongly reflects this stance, which he has chosen to take as a photographer.
