Tokuko Ushioda
Tokuko Ushioda’s photographic series "My Husband", prompted by the rediscovery of her prints and negatives after forty years, takes her husband, Shinzo Shimao, also a photographer, as its main subject. Ushioda’s earliest body of work is presented here for the first time.
In 1978, photographers Tokuko Ushioda and Shinzo Shimao had a daughter, Maho, and married. The three moved into a one-room unit with a shared kitchen and bathroom in the former residence of liberal politician and educator Yukio Ozaki (1858–1954), a historic Western-style house that had been dismantled and then relocated near the Gotokuji-temple in Setagaya, Tokyo. The family had little in the way of possessions. They owned a few pieces of furniture handed down by their landlord and relatives, making their home decidedly spare in appearance. The photographs in the series "My Husband", taken during the same period as those in Ushioda’s acclaimed Ice Box, are now being presented to the public for the first time. No doubt they will spur new reflection on the the artist’s long career.
This exhibition features approximately 30 monochrome prints.
