Photographs of Innocence and of Experience: Contemporary Japanese Photography vol. 14

Tokyo Photographic Art Museum
Finished

Artists

Mari Katayama, Takahiro Kaneyama, Nozomi Suzuki, Shinpei Takeda, Erika Yoshino
The “Contemporary Japanese Photography” exhibition was begun in 2002 to provide a venue for new, creative endeavors and offer support to people with creative spirits who strive to expand the possibilities of photography/imagery, in an effort to discover promising new artists. This year’s event marks the 14th in the series; entitled “Photographs of innocence and of experience,” it will introduce past and present works by five photographers who take diverse approaches to create photographic expressions that weave together the pure and individual experiences they have encountered in the course of their daily lives.
Introducing of the work of five photographers who examine and challenge physicality and identity, this exhibition will present many varied works, including those that use photography to repeatedly question familial relationships; capture memories of casual views in unexpected ways; employ early photographic techniques to record and pass on to the future the effects of everyday life on the environment or climate; or create a unique photographic time, comprising of moments extracted from daily life. These photographs question us personally, our thoughts and reactions being transmitted back to the artists and contributing to their future work. They offer a dialog linking past and future, surpassing differences of location and generation to blend, amplify and perhaps trigger a vast vortex. Witness the development of these artists’ photographs of innocence as they accumulate experience.
