POETIC REFLECTIONS ON TIME AND THE NATURAL WORLD

Momoko Seto (JP/FR) Rie Toguchi (JP) Chikako Yamashiro (JP) Ingrid Torvund and Jonas Mailand (NO) Marte Aas (NO)

The screening programme includes films and video works by six contemporary artists from Norway and Japan. The selected works opens up challenges about the way we perceive the constraints and limitations of the physical world while building a new narrative based on current ecological issues, folklore, spirituality and mythical figures as well as the invisible borders between humans and technological issues. In cooralation with the filmprogram we will exhbit a selection of photographic books by women photographers. As a starting point for selecting the books we have been inspired by the book published by Aperture in 2024, I'm So Happy You Are Here: Japanese Women Photographers from the 1950s to Now. The publication presents a wide range of photographic approaches brought to bear on the lived experiences and perspectives of women in Japanese society.
