Counter Photography: Japan's Artists Today August 24, 2009

This exhibition introduces an exciting selection of photographs by eleven contemporary Japanese artists. Reacting to a society defined by constantly shifting values, demographics and technologies, these artists employ varied approaches to photographic expression and representation. Some delve beyond external appearance to expose an essential truth, while others attempt to reinterpret and reconfigure issues of identity, self, and community in a world seemingly devoid of a spiritual foundation.
