"Trace Elements: Spirit and Memory in Japanese and Australian Photomedia" Exhibition
Closes in 5 days
At Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery
Media: Photography
Trace Elements: Spirit and Memory in Japanese and Australian Photomedia features work by Australian artists Philip Brophy, Jane Burton, Alex Davies, Genevieve Grieves and Sophie Kahn together with Japanese practitioners Teiji Furuhashi, Seiichi Furuya, Chie Matsui, Lieko Shiga and Kazuna Taguchi. An exhibition that encompasses both the traditions and the innovations of photomedia practice, from black and white photography to interactive video installation, Trace Elements considers the ways in which contemporary artists are addressing the intrinsic relationship of photography to time, memory and the metaphysical association of the medium to phantasmagoria and the semblance of lived experience.

Reviews
Reflections on a Particular Moment — Do you see what I see?
Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery presents a meditation on the body and memory through the lens of Japanese and Australian photomedia.
Shihoko Iida, one of the curators of 'Trace Elements' talks to TAB about the exhibition and her broader activities as a curator.
最高に面白かったです。
ちょっと怖い作品もあって、暑い日にはぴったりかも。
some amazing pieces, i particularly loved Furuhashi Teiji's LOVERS. and also Sophie Kahn's 3d scan artworks was quite interesting.
知らなかった「傷跡」をみてしまったような、、、ちょっとドキドキする展覧会でした。
