KAB Event - Hiromi Tsuchida "Hiromi Tsuchida's Japan"

This event has ended.
At Osaka Nikon Salon
Media: Photography, Film, Art Competition

The 27th Ken Domon Award recipient's work was part of the exhibition that took place December 2007 to February 2008 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. The show comprehensively introduced the loci of the artist's career, divided into three main parts: "Japanese People", "Hiroshima" and "Self-Portrait".
The first consisted of many series that the artist made over long periods of time: the Japanese local customs and cultures-themed "Customs and Gods" (1968-74); the urbanization and age-themed "Counting Sand" (1975-89); the Bubble economy in "Party" (1980-90); post-Bubble collapse in "New Counting Sand" (1995-2004); codifying Japanese festivals in "Customs and Gods Continued" (1980-2004). Part two started with "Hiroshima 1945-1979", pursing the circumstances of the children in the memoir "Children of the A-bomb", and had a further two sections, "Hiroshima Memento" (1979-83) and "Hiroshima Collection" (1982-94). Finally, part three showed the "The Artist's Own Face", a four minute twenty second film made every day since 1986.
The artist, who began working as a full photographer at the end of the 1960s, has a unique perspective and the clear conceptualization in his works mixes "self-expression" with "thorough record", while also continuing to develop, and occasionally adopt an experimental approach.
This "Hiromi's Japan" exhibition will show the "Customs and Gods", "Customs and Gods Continued", "Counting Sand" and "New Counting Sand", and the "Self-Portrait" film.
