Ultimately the […]

MORIYAMA @daidomoriyamaphotofoundation An epic exh MORIYAMA @daidomoriyamaphotofoundation
An epic exhibition spanning seven rooms, featuring more images than you can shake an old rangy dog at. This retrospective is a monument to a 50-year career defined by relentless experimentation and distinct creative phases.
The installation is wild, combining:
 * **Mural-sized reproductions** that dominate the space.
 * **Classic framed prints** 
 * **Small-scale sticker prints** and detailed display cases.
 * **A massive slideshow** 
It’s a powerful testament to a photographer who has never been afraid to evolve.
19 Victoire Thierrée “Okinawa” (discovery award wi 19 Victoire Thierrée “Okinawa” (discovery award winner) 👍🏽 fascinating project, exploring the history of foreigners in Okinawa. There is so much more to say about this show 👍🏽Victoire Thierrée discovered the island of Okinawa through the work of photographer Shōmei Tōmatsu (1930-2012) during her first visit to Japan in 2012. Tōmatsu was the first to document the American military presence on Okinawa, leading in 1969 to the publication, Okinawa, Okinawa, Okinawa, a title to which the series of photographs and the exhibition refer directly — like a cry.
In 2019, she explores this territory where thirty-two American military bases remain and 10,000 GIs are still present on the island. She produced a series of black and white photographs with a medium-format 6 x 9 (vertical) camera, focusing on the outskirts of the bases, where majestic nature seems to offer a form of resistance to this occupation.
