NAKAHIRA TAKUMA: DEGREE
ZERO --- YOKOHAMA
Nakahira Takuma was born in 1938 in Tokyo and is a resident of
Kohoku Ward, Yokohama. He played a large part in the transition
of still photography to an expressive art form that began in the
second half of the 1960s. Today he continues to significantly
influence the medium as a means of expressing the modern-day phenomena.
In his early days, Nakahira blurred images by using coarse grained
printing and out-of-focus techniques to break away from convention.
Since then, however, he has pursued "photography that would
justify its being by portraying a thing exactly as a thing,"
such as pictorial book-like images.
The exhibition shows mainly his representative works from his
early days to the present. A total of 800 photographs, prints
and other records from his photo albums and periodicals have been
assembled for the first full-scale retrospective in an attempt
to portray all aspects of the author's work.
Date: Oct. 4 (Sat.) to Dec. 7 (Sun.)
