About the exhibition
Contemporary Japanese photography has gained increasing attention since the past decades and is acclaimed for its diversity. Blindspot Gallery presents “
Fragmented Emotions” featuring two of the most promising young Japanese photography artists, Cozue Takagi and Shu Ikea. Both artists explore new possibilities in the photographic medium with collaged photographic artworks: Takagi employs digital manipulation, while Ikeda uses the method of paper-cutting.
