HIROSHI WATANABE:THE DAY THE DAM COLLAPSES
JULY 7 – AUGUST 26, 2016
OPENING RECEPTION: THURSDAY, JULY 7, 6-8PM
The Day the Dam Collapses by the California-based Japanese photographer Hiroshi Watanabe (born 1951) consists (unusually for this artist) of small-scale digital color pictures taken over a period of five years following the birth of his son when he was concurrently confronting the cycle of life and his own mortality. Ranging from seemingly ordinary details of quotidian life to poetic visual metaphors, The Day the Dam Collapses paints life cycles as fleeting, fragile and devastatingly ephemeral.
