Akira Rachi and Hirofumi Katayama
It seems to be Taro Nasu Gallery week on eyecurious this week. Following on from the seemingly excellent Ryuji Miyamoto show, they are now going to be showing work by Akira Rachi and Hirofumi Katayama. This show could be called ‘In Between’ as both of these two young photographers focus on interstitial spaces. Katayama seeks [...]

Review: Voyages @ MCJP
I was contacted a few months ago by the Japan Foundation in Paris to write a short text for their newsletter based on an upcoming exhibition of contemporary Japanese photography. The exhibition, put together by the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, has just opened and although I’m not entirely convinced about the theme, voyages, there [...]

Jean-Louis Tornato
Mrs Deane’s post on Eduardo Serafim reminded me that I have been meaning to post on Jean-Louis Tornato’s series, Les photographies du sommeil. The series is made up of self-portraits of Tornato sleeping with his partner throughout the course of the night. The images were made using an automatic timer, infra-red film and a flash [...]
Jan Koster, Havana
Jan Koster (1959) is best known for his photographs of the Dutch river landscape. In this new project, Koster has abandoned domestic fluvial bliss for the streets of Havana. Havana has to be one of the most photogenic cities of the world, but thankfully Koster doesn’t overdo it on the gorgeousness and the colour. These images [...]
Liu Bolin
Liu Bolin paints his body, or that of his subjects, into an illusion of invisibility for his photographs of his native China. This could have ended up being a pretty shallow artifice, but I like the way he puts it to use to create a sense of the invisibility of the individual in contemporary China [...]
Review: Photoquai 2009
The Quai Branly Museum has just launched the second edition of Photoquai, its photography biennale of “world images”. The mission of the biennale, to “highlight and make known, artists whose work is previously unexhibited or little known in Europe, and to foster exchanges and the exchanging of views on the world,” sounded pretty good to [...]

Miao Jiaxin
Miao Jiaxin is from Shanghai but is currently living in the United States, completing an MFA at the Art Institute of Chicago. There is a great mix of work on his site, with some radically different approaches. The above image is taken from the 2006 series Times Square, “a juxtaposition of Shanghai and NYC created [...]
Eric Tabuchi
Eric Tabuchi is fond of the typology. He likes trucks, road signs, mobile homes, monuments, flowers, ruins and countryside skateparks. He even did a book called Twentysix Abandoned Gasoline Stations, an extension of Ed Ruscha’s Twentysix Gasoline Stations and a vision of our post-gasoline future. Although my attention span for typologies is shrinking by the [...]
