Things So Faint But Real - Contemporary Japanese Photography Vol. 15

Tokyo Photographic Art Museum

Finished

Artists

Eiki Mori, Futoshi Miyagi, Mayumi Hosokura, Fumi Ishino, Tomoko Kawai

The Tokyo Photographic Art Museum carries out various projects/programs to discover artists with great potential who challenge the possibilities presented by photography and imagery, to offer support to their spirit of creativity, and provide a venue where they can give free rein to their imaginations to further develop their creative endeavors. Central to this undertaking is the “Contemporary Japanese Photography” exhibition in which the work of several artists is presented based on a common theme that changes annually. This year’s event is the 15th in the series and its theme is, ‘Things So Faint But Real’, featuring artists who use their sensitivity or personal points of view, identity, or reality as a key to creating new works. Artists have based their works on unpredictable natural disasters, the increasing economic disparity, the delay in passing legislation to cover LGBT people, etc., the instability of the situation facing individuals, etc. Taken individually, these efforts may not appear very impactful, but they provide us with the courage and hope to continue through these difficult times.
