"To me photography can be simultaneously a record and a 'mirror' or 'window' of self-expression. The camera is generally assumed to be unable to depict that which is not visible to the eye. And yet the photographer who wields it well can depict what lies unseen in his memory." —Eikoh Hosoe
Eikoh Hosoe is an integral part of the history of modern Japanese photography. He remains a driving force in photography, not only for his own work, but also as a teacher and ambassador, fostering artistic exchange between Japan and the outside world. His influence has been felt in his native country and throughout the international photographic community....

Communiqué de presse du festival photo de Saint-Germain
Pour sa 5ème édition, le festival PHOTO SAINT-GERMAIN revient du 4 au 20 novembre 2016. Quinze jours placés sous le signe du parcours, dans une sélection de musées, centres culturels, galeries et librairies de la rive gauche. Expositions mais aussi conférences, projections, signatures et visites d’ateliers rythment la programmation de ce rendez-vous essentiel du mois de novembre.
Le titre du festival, Photo-Saint Germain, m’évoque ce couple du Be Bop en cave, saisi à Saint Germain des prés, par Robert Doisneau, au milieu du XXe siècle. Quelle plus belle image de la liberté et de l’altérité que celle offerte par ces danseurs ? Quelle photographie ...

Kyoto, City of Culture
Kyoto City was, from 794, the capital of Japan for over 1,000 years. kyoto City has more than two thousand historic sites, including shrines, temples and Japanese gardens: it is the cultural capital of Japan. The skills of traditional craftmanship have been passed down for generations, and the ethos of respecting kyoto’s amazing cultural heritage continues to beat like a graceful pulse in everyda...

« Tué par des roses ». On semble loin de la violence d'une mort par hara-kiri, choisie pourtant par Yukio Mishima après son coup d'état raté en 1970. Avec la série Barakei – Killed by Roses, le photographe Eikoh Hosoe offre à l'écrivain japonais une ode funeste où percent par endroits beauté et folie pures. Comme les flèches dans la peau douce de Saint-Sébastien. Une exposition sur le fil à voir et revoir à la galerie Mouchet jusqu'au 23 décembre.
Né en 1933, le photographe Hosoe grandit avec la guerre et la bombe atomique. Cette dernière marquera d'ailleurs ses débuts, comme dans le court-métrage Navel and A-Bomb (Heso to genbaku) avec le danseur...
Communiqué de presse
Du 27 octobre au 23 décembre 2016, la galerie Eric Mouchet présente l'exposition Barakei, fable érotique et morbide qui met en scène le sulfureux auteur Yukio Mishima et élève le photographe Eikoh Hosoe à une notoriété internationale fulgurante.
Née d'une double fascination - celle de Mishima pour le supplice et la rose, celle du photographe Hosoe pour Mishima lui-même, cette célébration d'Eros et de la mort est un défi de ce que l'écrivain appelait "le déclin de la chair", l'une des nombreuses lois à laquelle il refusait de se soumettre.
Dans cette œuvre, que Marguerite Yourcenar interprète, dans le livre qu'elle a consa...
Communiqué de presse Galerie Eric Mouchet - Né en 1933, Eikoh Hosoe vit sa jeunesse dans un Japon anéanti par la guerre. Les photographes d’avant garde de sa génération, déchirés entre l’autoritarisme nationaliste et une ouverture sur un occident vainqueur et néanmoins tentateur, témoignent tous, d’une façon ou d’une autre, de l’effondrement des traditions et d’une suprématie japonaises millénaires. Leur émancipation passe par leur regroupement au sein de collectifs tels que Jūnin-no-Me en 1956-57, et VIVO au début des années 1960, mais également
par de nombreux échanges interdisciplinaires. Suite à sa rencontre avec le charismatique créateur du th&ea...
The Japanese photo magazine, Provoke, appeared for three issues between November 1968 and August 1969 and is regarded as one of the high points of post-war photography. In the largest ever exhibition devoted to the topic, Fotomuseum presents a close look at the magazine’s gestation, innovative aesthetics and the contribution of its key collaborators. The 1960s and 1970s were a turbulent period in Japanese history as workers, farmers and students protested the speed of modernisation and Japan’s alliance with the United States during the Cold War. The exhibition reveals how photography was deeply implicated in the aesthetic and political debates of the time, challenging and renewing older documentary forms. With around 250 objects, Provoke brings together photographs and publications by some of Japan’s mo...
ANITA NEUGEBAUER – photo art basel.
Portrait of the Photographer, Gallery Owner and Collector
‘I wanted to get to know the people who reveal my inner life with their pictures.’
Anita Neugebauer (born in 1916 in Berlin) studied photography at the Contempora – Lehrateliers für neue Werkkunst in Berlin in the 1930s. She is among the avantgarde of photo gallery owners and her collection includes masterpieces classic 20th-century photography. Her gallery photo art basel (1976 – 2004) was one of the first to promote the public presentation of photography at a time when it was not yet being collected as art or exhibited in museums. Neugebauer’s photo exhibitions with Robert Doisneau, Gisèle Freund, Ruth Mayerson Gilbert, René M&aum...
In the years following the Second World War in Japan, photography played an important role in the development of a new national identity. From the shock of the atomic bomb to the country's re-emergence at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, important photographers documented the birth of a new Japanese nation. This exhibition includes 123 photographs, as well as books, magazines and exhibition catalogues featuring works from 11 leading representatives of Japanese photography of these years.
In the mid-1950s a group of photographers came to the fore who started to move away from the sombre photo journalism that depicted the misery of the years immediately following the war. Affiliated with the Vivo photography agency, these photographers examined the consequences of the massive modernisation process that gripped the co...
For over fifty years, internationally acclaimed photographer Eikoh Hosoe has been producing cutting edge works demonstrating a unique mastery of the photographic medium. Early on in his career he abandoned the documentary style prevalent in the post-war years and produced work that breathed a sense of experimentation and freedom into photography. By calling on mythology, metaphor and symbolism his images broke the bounds of traditional photography. Hosoe developed a unique style situated at the crossroads of several different art forms, combining photography with elements of theatre, dance, film and traditional Japanese art. To this day he continues to push the boundaries of photographic expression.?Hosoe began to gain recognition in the late 1950s with the series Man and Woman (1959). Through the writer Yukio Mishima...

Eikoh Hosoe (Japan, 1933) is undoubtedly among the most important masters of photography since World War II. He is known for his psychologically charged images, often exploring subjects such as death, erotic obsession and irrationality.
Kahmann Gallery is proud to present a retrospective of 25 beautiful black and white silver prints. Hosoe graduated from The Tokyo College of Photography in 1951 and had his first exhibit in 1956, a one-man show. Since then, for almost half a century, he has produced epoch-making works and has established himself as an internationally acclaimed photographer. He abandoned a documentary style for bold images utilizing mythology, metaphor and theatrical impulses.

Over more than fifty years, photographer Eikoh Hosoe has built up a body of work that shows a unique mastery of photographic techniques.
Early in his career, he abandoned the predominant post-war documentary style in favour of an approach underpinned by a sense of experimentation and freedom. Making use of mythology, metaphor and symbolism, he created images that go beyond the limits of traditional photography.
Hosoe's style sits at the crossroads between several different fields, combining photography with theatre, dance, film and traditional Japanese art. Still today, he continues to push back the limits of photographic expression.
Hosoe's career took off in the late fifties with the series entitled Man and Woman (1959). Thanks to the writer Yukio Mishima, Hosoe met Tatsumi Hijikata, one of the founders of ...
Depuis plus de cinquante ans, le photographe Eikoh Hosoe a crée une oeuvre qui démontre une maîtrise unique de la technique photographique. Au début de sa carrière, il a abandonné le style documentaire dominant de l’après-guerre pour une photographie imprégnée d’un sens de l’expérimentation et de liberté. En faisant appel à la mythologie, la métaphore et le symbolisme, il a créé des images au-delà des limites de la photographie traditionnelle.
Le style de Hosoe se situe à l’intersection de plusieurs domaines différents, combinant la photographie avec des éléments du théâtre, de la danse, du cinéma et de l’art traditionnel japonais....
Concept
On August 15th, 1945 the Pacific War came to an end and with it fourteen years of bombings, of deprivation and of great sacrifice for the Japanese people. With the collapse of Japanese militaristic rule and the arrival of the US occupation forces, the nation suddenly found itself thrust into a new and uncertain era. The myth of the Emperor's divinity, which was born during the Meiji era, was replaced with the American attempt at their homegrown brand of democratisation.
The belief in the Emperor and his government, which had accompanied Japan's development for several decades, was shattered. At the same time, despite the surrounding physical destruction, a feeling of intense relief swept across the country accompanied by a thirst for freedom and creative expression. The Japanese people craved discovery: the...
Carolina Nitsch is pleased to present FOR A LANGUAGE TO COME - Provoking Change in Japanese Postwar Photography at Carolina Nitsch Project Room in Chelsea. This exhibition of photographers and their seminal books in postwar Japan surveys a highpoint in the history of photography books. On display are vintage editions of some 35 rare Japanese photobooks from the late 1950s to the early 1990s and complete page by page media presentations of selected titles.
In no other country have photographers created so many publications and numerous Japanese photographers continue to prefer books as the ultimate presentation for their projects. Many photographers featured in this show were at the forefront of a postwar cultural movement in Japan. At its core was the iconoclastic magazine Provoke (1968-69), which had a vital influenc...
