Landscape has been associated with art and beauty and has been the subject of modern Western art, as exemplified by landscape painting dating back to the early Renaissance.
In Japan after the Meiji Restoration, the concept played a major role in the process of modernization. On the other hand, in the visual art of photography and film, landscape has always been an important subject from the origin of the medium to the present, in the sense that it depicts the photographer's point of view as seen through the camera's eye.
Landscape theory, which asks the question, "What is landscape?" has always discussed the nature of social structures and aesthetic foundations, and has emerged in response to anxious times and social situations. This radical approach of reinterpreting the ubiquitous landscape from the side of reality and expressing the landscape in relation to culture, society, and politics through visual art had a great influence on photographers and filmmakers around 1970.
This exhibition introduces Japanese photographic and visual expression of this theory of landscape historically with materials from the period and comprehensively introduces the transformation of photographic images and landscape up to today's contemporary artists, with a focus on the collection. In addition, related events by the exhibiting artists and film screenings on the theory of landscape will be held in the first-floor hall to introduce the appeal of the exhibition from various perspectives.
