Naoki Ishikawa
This exhibition will run concurrently with another exhibition by the same artist entitled Momentum at Taka Ishii Gallery (complex665). It will feature 18 works from the Marebito series that presents a record of Japanese Raiho-shin rituals (visits by deities from the otherworld).
Naoki Ishikawa is continually traveling the world and the photographs of the unique regional sights he observes along the way provide not only richly detailed records, but also stand by themselves as a unique form of expression. His activities have led him to travel the entire world, north to south, east to west, resulting in numerous series of work, such as Pole to Pole, in which he traveled from North Pole to South Pole; New Dimension, in which he made a record of prehistoric cave paintings; and Corona, which he produced while touring the Polynesian islands. The series, Marebito, featured in this exhibition, took him throughout Japan, from Asanai Village, Akita Prefecture, in the north, to Hateruma Island, Okinawa Prefecture, in the south. Sometimes suffering from adverse weather, he spent over ten years traveling the country with his camera to create a record of these Raiho-shin rituals.
