Tamiko NISHIMURA Photo Exhibition
Existence - Situation Theater 1968-69

April 24 Fri. - May 9 Sun. 2015
GALLERY OPEN ON ALL DAYS


Last year's well-received Tamiko NISHIMURA Photo Exhibition showed works of the Shoukei (Longing) series which Nishimura concentrated on from the early 1970s to 1983, documenting various locations from Hokkaido, the Japanese northeast, the Hokuriku area, and Kansai, to her birthplace Tokyo. Our second exhibition of Nishimura’s photography presents the 1968-69 series Existence, when she visited the underground venue Situation Theater every week in order to capture the performances of Juro Kara, Akaji Maro, Simon Yotsuya, and others. This exhibition parallels Kittenish: Tamiko Nishimura, held at the same time at Zen Foto Gallery.

Tamiko NISHIMURA (1948-)
Born 1948 in Tokyo, Nishimura learned photography at Tokyo Photography College (now Tokyo Visual Arts). As a student, she took photos for the underground theatrical company "Situation Theater" around 1968. The first photos she took of them was "Yui Shosetsu", starring Juro KARA, Akaji MARO and Simon YOTSUYA. Before graduating from the college, she made a solo trip to Okinawa. After graduating the college in 1969, she lived on a partime jobs and magazine works, travelling around Japan every now and then with her camera. Her works are mostly taken in Hokkaido and Tohoku (North east region of Japan's mainland), but there are also works of Kanto (Tokyo and surrounding region), Hokuriku (North Japan facing Sea of Japan) and Kansai (Osaka and surrounding region). Since 1990s, she begun to photograph places abroad such as Europe, Cuba and Vietnam.
