In the Wake: Japanese Photographers Respond to 3/11 @ Japan Society Gallery
In the Wake: Japanese Photographers Respond to 3/11
March 11 – June 12, 2016
First organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where it was on view in 2015, In the Wake features more than 90 photographs, videos, and installations created by 17 artists who contemplate what has been lost and what remains in the aftermath of a national tragedy that took some 18,000 lives and displaced another 400,000 individuals. The reconceived and expanded presentation at Japan Society is divided into three sections, focusing on documentary approaches to the disasters, experimental uses of photographic techniques in search of a 3/11 iconography, and the d evelopment of a visual narrative for Tohoku, the Northeastern region of Japan hardest hit by the earthquake. In charting a gradual progression from objectivity to experiment and metaphor, the Japan Society Gallery’s installation of In The Wake emphasizes transformation in Japanese artists’ practices since 3/11 for the first time in a major U.S. exhibition.
