Lenscratch feature: 6 Feet Apart

My series 6 Feet Apart was the daily feature on Lenscratch on July 10, 2023. It was part of a series of featured projects seen at the Medium Photo Portfolio Reviews.

Aline Smithson writes:

If a future anthropologist were to go back in time to 2020 and look for clues to a world wide pandemic, the masks and gloves and hand sanitizers would be deep into landfills, but the mark making instructions of how we were to conduct ourselves, might still be present. When the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) asked us to remain 6 feet apart from other people, a new term was introduced into our vocabulary: social distancing. Beyond the Saturday Night Live pool noodle solutions, the rest of the world began to create a series of symbols that altered normal behaviors.

BTW, they have been doing daily posts for something like 17 years! It’s a huge site.

This is a great exhibit, outdoors in a shrine. I’m actually really glad I got to see it in the rain. This is a 13 minute long tour showing the whole exhibit and a little bonus exhibit next-door. This is a mostly Korean group of photographers, it’s a Korean photo festival that is participating in this Japanese photo festival. @kgplus @yukiiwanami @yipf_official

Everything in this garden was so beautifully done. It’s kind of crazy and I know how much work it is to keep things so simple and clean. Built in 1610. You have to reserve an advance and you have to take a tour and the tour guide was pretty stiff. I do really wish I could just walk around and sit and quietly enjoy this garden, but I’m grateful I got to see it.
Great scenography (exhibition design) in this show Great scenography (exhibition design) in this show sponsored by a French champagne brand. This is the fifth year they have sponsored a show for the festival. 
@sarishibat  is the artist - the work comes out of a residency done on the champagne grape farm in 🇫🇷.

The exhibition title Dotok Days derives from dotoku (literally “virtue of the soil”), a term used by Sōetsu Yanagi , founder of the Mingei movement, to describe the spiritual climate of Nanto. It means knowing that one cannot live without mutual support. It means entrusting oneself to a force far greater than anything one could plan. It means that the labours and prayers of unnamed people accumulate in the land, quietly supporting daily life from beneath.
OK, honestly, I was skeptical that I would like th OK, honestly, I was skeptical that I would like this exhibition of photos of famous people but the very first person was siouxsie Sue, who is my favorite - and that won me over. Of course the venue is so beautiful and the video of him talking about his work is very modest and heartfelt.

This is such a great exhibition and well worth the This is such a great exhibition and well worth the short trip slightly out of the center of town so check it out. There’s two artists, including the amazing Tamaki, who has been such an inspiration for me in how she has perfected the art of  photographic installation. Here is an image showing the blackbear photos hidden in a nest of distressed wood. It’s a little hard to capture it in a photograph, but I really enjoyed it and the book and interactive elements were also very beautiful. In the show upstairs is a lovingly rendered meditation on Alzheimer’s and long-term care. Curated by the amazing community builder @yumigoto @remindersphotographystronghold

Tamaki Yoshida, Kazuhiko Matsumura
Threshold: Images in Flux
“Threshold: Images in Flux” presents a dialogue in artistic expression between Tamaki Yoshida and Kazuhiko Matsumura, each exploring distinct realms through their work. Yoshida’s gaze lingers on the borders between wild animals and human society, attending to traces and fragments found in the liminal space between life and death. Matsumura, on the other hand, explores not only dementia itself but also the histories of families and individuals affected by it, the relationships and connections that emerge from these experiences, and is currently continuing his fieldwork on end-of-life care.
Federico Estol @federicoestol exhibition here in K Federico Estol @federicoestol exhibition here in Kyoto. Here’s a brief video tour that shows 2/3 of the show, the upstairs was not available at the time. I just love the show so much. It has a deep cultural relevance, combined with a lust for life. Also a scrappiness, making a (premium) lemonade out of what some people might think of as lemons.
