Hiroshi Saito "On Looking at Powerlessness"

Osaka Nikon Salon

This event has ended.

Saito's photographs capture the present state of the Matsuo mine in Iwate prefecture, once called the "Eastern Warship Island" and "Heaven on the Clouds". However, after its fortunate days, the mine attracted less and less people and currently lacks any visitors or residents. Time has stopped in the Matsuo mine yet nature continues to grow. The exhibition features Saito's works that present the contrast between the ruins of Matsuo mine and its powerful natural surroundings, that inevitably question what we as human beings need to do right now. Features monochromatic photographs.
