Kana Kawanishi Photography is pleased to announce the opening of Group Exhibition, “One Picture Manifesto” on Saturday, September 3rd, 2022.
“One Picture Manifesto” is a visual commentary on the practices of modern photographic art. It highlights the significance of a single photograph in a time that tends to celebrate serialism. The founding artists of the manifesto, artist Marja Pirilä (b. 1957), Harri Pälviranta (b. 1971), Maija Annikki Savolainen (b. 1980) and Maija Tammi (b.1985), want to challenge their own ways of creating art as well as photographic practices in general. Italian artist Alessandro Danidini de Sylva (b.1981) joined the examination of a single photographic image at the exhibition organised by gallery Matèria at Spazio Duale at Istituto Superiore di Fotografia, and Japanese artist, Hideo Anze (b. 1975), conjoined the project at this exhibition held at Kana Kawanishi Photography.
In the exhibition, each artist presents one independent visual work of art that is not supported by long written descriptions or complementing works from the same artist. The aim is to invite the viewer to stop and look at one photo for a prolonged period of time. The manifesto is also intended to encourage people to consider to what extent the form and even the very existence of photographic art are dictated by the parameters of photographic competitions, festivals and grant applications.
“One Picture Manifesto” was first shown at the Finnish Museum of Photography in Helsinki, Finland, September, 2019, and then in Rome in April 2022. In spring 2023, the exhibition will travel to The Reference in Seoul. At each new location, one local artist is invited to make one new photographic work according to the manifesto, thus increasing the number of works in the show.
