In the Wake: Japanese Photographers Respond to 3/11
The Great East Japan Earthquake struck on March 11, 2011, and an enormous wave of water swept through towns in the Tōhoku (northeast) region, destroying virtually everything in its path and irrevocably damaging the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Through works by 17 Japanese photographers, In the Wake explores the way art provides a powerful language for reflecting on tragic events and contributing to human recovery. This exhibition is organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
3DPRK: North Korean Portraits by Matjaž Tančič
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (commonly referred to as North Korea) is an area of Asia that is unfamiliar to many. Matjaž Tančič’s (b.1982, Slovenia) portraits are taken using a 3D stereoscopic technique, requiring each subject to stand motionless for minutes while multiple photographs capture the requisite perspectives. His landmark 3DPRK series offers a unique glimpse of the citizens of Pyongyang — North Korea’s capital — as well as workers, farmers, educators, athletes, and entertainers from across North Korea.
