Issei Suda "Japanese Sceneries"

Osaka Nikon Salon

This event has ended.

Following the end of the war, this photographer's objective was a simple one: to find food to eat, alcohol to drink and live life to the full. Everybody was working towards that aim at the time. However, in the race to achieve this, people ended up running so fast that their feet lost touch of the ground and in the end they lost sight of where they were headed. It seems that we have entered an age in which old people find themselves by looking into the past while young people do nothing but play around.

Suda's work is simply about "Japanese sceneries". This exhibition marks the birth of these works, but in this age in which "the diversification of imagery" has become a cliché, Suda believes that the sceneries in front of him are themselves illusions. 45 black and white prints are on display.
