Speaker: Shitamichi Motoyuki, Photographer
Moderator: Jonathan Reynolds, Professor, Art History, Barnard College
Shitamichi Motoyuki is an artist and curator based in Kagawa Japan. Among his projects is a series of photographs of Torii gates from Shinto Shrines from throughout Japan's former empire, which he exhibits together with picture postcards dating from before and during the Asia Pacific War. A video series documents large boulders and other land forms displaced by Japan's many natural disasters. This conceptually driven work has been exhibited across Japan and at major international venues such as the Venice Biennale. Shitamichi will discuss his work.
This event is sponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and cosponsored by the Donald Keene Center of Japanese Culture.
