Ichihara Lakeside Museum

Artists

Naoki Ishikawa

The globetrotting photographer Naoki Ishikawa (b. 1977) trekked from the North Pole to the South Pole when he was just 22 years old and scaled the world’s seven highest summits at the age of 23. He undertakes his extensive travels throughout Japan and around the world with an anthropological and ethnological eye, developing an original style of photography. This exhibition, which debuted under the same title at Art Tower Mito in February 2017, surveys Ishikawa’s career from his early through recent work. It takes the viewer on vicarious voyages with his photography and reveals a new “map of the planet” charted from his unique perspective. Motoki Ishikawa Architect and Associates Inc. has designed an exhibition space recreating mountains and islands, while sound artist Yasuhiro Morinaga has teamed up with Naoki Ishikawa to present new photographs and sound recordings collected while doing fieldwork in Southeast Asia.
