Joanna Piotrowska
Hagiwara Projects are pleased to announce "Toride," a solo exhibition by Polish photographer Joanna Piotrowska, opening on March 25. This will be the artist's first solo exhibition in Japan.
Piotrowska's photography focuses on the structure of the family and the relationship between human behavior and broader systems, including social and cultural life. This exhibition presents a series of photographs of "shelters" built by adults in their homes. Shelters remind us of children's games, but when adults are involved, they also bring to mind hierarchies of power within the home, insecurities, imposed conventions, and even notions of inequality that are magnified by political and economic factors.
"Enclosures," another series featured in this exhibition, depicts the cages and enclosures of zoos. The photographs of toys and objects designed by humans to "enrich" the lives of animals highlight the duality of protection.
