Serie Yokosuka Story
Ishiuchi Miyako | 1977-1978
It portrays the city of Yokosuka, a small port in Japan where the artist grew up. During the 1950s and 1960s, the city was home to a major U.S. naval base, which imbued it with that culture and forced it to coexist between the local and the foreign. The grainy, high-contrast photographs reflect the concern and uncertainty surrounding the identity of the city and the country.
Japan, 1947
Miyako Ishiuchi (1947) is a Japanese photographer known for her intimate focus on memory, the body and personal objects. Her style combines the documentary with a poetic aesthetic, exploring personal and collective themes. Some of her most outstanding works are Yokosuka Story, about the city where she grew up, or Mother’s, where she documents her mother’s belongings until her mother’s death. In 2005 he represented Japan at the Venice Biennale and his work is part of the collection of major museums such as MoMA in New York.
