Malaysia and Japan have spent many years building a close relationship. In 2013, the Two Mountains Photograph Project was launched in order to deepen this mutual understanding through the power of photography and culture. Centered on the commissioning of several documentary and art photographers who would present photo-stories of these peaks in their home nations, the initial project culminated in an exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, and a presentation in Japan.
2017 saw the announcement of the second phase of the Two Mountains Photography Project, continuing its original vision by recognizing cross-cultural processes via photography. This second phase enables selected photographers from each nation to travel to the other, and make produce personal visual stories centered on the respective mountains located there. The indigenous people of each nation respect these peaks as cultural icons and spiritual symbols by recognition of their unique status, with long traditions and practices embedded in the national psyche.
