Fondazione Bisazza celebrates Nobuyoshi Araki, one of the most internationally acclaimed photographers and contemporary artists, with a solo exhibit entitled Araki and curated by Filippo Maggia.
On show from September, 21st to December, 3rd 2017 at the foundation’s galleries in Montecchio Maggiore, the exhibit explores the world of the Japanese master photographer; from female nudes and almost sensual floral compositions, to urban still lifes and Tokyo skyscapes, portrayed in an explosion of light. The exhibit showcases seventy photographs, encouraging visitors to reflect on the poignant topics of femininity, eros and death.
Borrowed from Taka Ishii Gallery and Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio of Modena, in addition to a series belonging to Fondazione Bisazza, the exhibited works belong to several of Araki’s famous photographic series, including Sentimental Journey, Painting Flowers, Suicide in Tokyo, Hana Kinbaku, Erotos, Bondages, 67 Shooting Back, offering a curated retrospective of key experiences of his life over the years. The exhibition also includes the artist’s most recent works from the Love on the Left Eye collection: the printed photographs – all deliberately obscured on the right side of the image – reflect Araki’s loss of vision in the right eye.
Complementing the exhibition itinerary are two films: the one unveiling the behind-the-scenes of Araki’s creative process and involvement in the Bisazza advertising campaign, the other featuring an interview to the Japanese master photographer.
