Gazing at the Contemporary World: Japanese Photography from the 1970s to the Present

Gazing at the Contemporary World: Japanese Photography from the 1970s to the Present is an overview of the diverse photographic expression that has emerged in Japan since the 1970s.  The exhibit consists of two sections (excluding “Prologue” and “Epilogue” ). The first, A Changing Society, focuses on human being as members of society. The second, Changing Landscapes, looks at cities, the suburbs, and nature.

This traveling exhibition is organized by the Japan Foundation and was curated by Rei Masuda, curator at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo.
