Kinkan Gallery is pleased to present the photography exhibition "Turning to the Past, Beyond the Window," featuring works by Tomo Ishiwatari, Sayaka Chiba, and Satoko Hasegawa. The exhibition will be held from Saturday, July 5, through Sunday, July 27, 2025.
All three studied photography at the Tokyo College of Photography at the same time. After graduation, Ishiwatari worked professionally as a photographer, Chiba temporarily stepped away from photography but resumed her activities after giving birth, and Hasegawa continued to produce works as an artist. Each of them has continued creating using various methods, including film and digital techniques.
Their reunion after some time, along with their ongoing engagement with photography, led to this exhibition. The years they have lived have become the foundation of their work, and because photography captures something unique to each moment, the passage of time is unintentionally woven into their images.
There is no fixed path for continuing with photography, and it is by no means an easy one. Yet each of them has kept moving forward—sometimes pausing, sometimes retracing their steps.
The title of this exhibition, “Turning to the Past, Beyond the Window,” emerged from a bit of wordplay. Just as words give form to images through the shared structure of written language, each artist presents her work through a different approach—be it film or digital—but within the same medium of photography.
We hope that, while sensing the time they have spent with photography, you will also feel the allure of photography itself through their works.
