Kyotographie Kawada Kikuji x Iwane Ai

Encounter two of Japan's most exciting photographers — Kawada Kikuji and Iwane Ai — in a rare opportunity to see their work in the UK. One of the most celebrated Japanese photographers working today, Kawada has been active for eight decades. The exhibition features work from his seminal series Chizu (The Map), which examines the scars of the postwar period. Kyotographie also explores his fascination with celestial phenomena in The Last Cosmology, and some examples of the most recent work that the 93-year-old regularly posts on social media. In her first major UK show, Iwane presents her fascinating, award-winning series Kipuka, exploring the lives of Japanese immigrants in Hawaii. She also shares works from the series A New River, which captures eerily lit cherry blossoms at night in Japan's northeastern Tōhoku region during spring.
