About the Exhibition
Opening reception: Thursday, May 8, 6 - 9 pm
Photographed in the 1950s, the show will feature 25 images of life in the fishing villages of Wajima and its surrounding area. Influenced by Ken Domo, a prominent Japanese photographer of the same generation, Tomioka captures the harsh yet lively and joyful lives of local people. These images are crafted with careful attention to composition and an elegant sense of geometry.
Tomioka’s two books including this body of work on the lives in the fishing villages in 1950's will be available for purchase during the show.
