Ishiuchi Miyako « Textures du temps »

« Textures du temps » is the first major French retrospective of Ishiuchi Miyako, a major artist and one of the first Japanese female photographers to establish herself on the national and international art scene. Bringing together nearly two hundred works, the exhibition spans, across some ten series, the five decades of her artistic journey, begun in 1976.

Throughout her career, Ishiuchi Miyako has continuously explored themes of memory and the material traces left by the passage of time on places, bodies, and objects. Her work, where intimate narrative intertwines with political history, places the artist's personal experience within a broader context, that of postwar Japan and the American occupation.
