Motoyuki Shitamichi
Onikai MtK Contemporary Art is pleased to present “Haha no Futa,” a solo exhibition by Motoyuki Shitamichi.
Shitamichi, who lived in Tokyo until the Great East Japan Earthquake, relocated to his wife’s hometown in Aichi after their marriage. He became intrigued by the 'lids' his mother-in-law left, which he often discovered on the dining table. Over the course of three years, he secretly photographed them. This series, titled Hana no Futa (Mother’s Lid), humorously captures a 'new family landscape' shaped by the subtle distortions in human relationships. In contrast to his more well-known works like Torii and Tsunami Stone, where he documents the everyday life of historical monuments while traveling, this 'B-side' project offers a fixed-point observation of the quiet, unchanging creative acts in daily life. His photo book, Haha no Futa, is set to be published by Akaakasha at the end of October.
