Reexamining four decades of practice from a contemporary perspective<\/h3>\r\n

Photo exhibition \"Asteroid<\/a>\" by Yoichiro Nishimura is to be held at Minna-no-gallery<\/a> for June 4 to 21, 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Nishimura is a photographer whose practice centers on photogram\u2014an image-making technique that records objects through direct exposure without the use of a camera\u2014and scangram, its digital extension. Through motifs such as plants, water, insects, and the human body, he captures elements from everyday life while introducing subtle shifts in how they are seen.<\/p>\r\n

The year 2026 marks forty years since Nishimura began his photographic practice, as well as ten years since the publication of Blue Flower (2016), a photobook dedicated to his scangram works. This exhibition is structured with an awareness of that accumulated time.<\/p>\r\n

Included in the exhibition is Asteroid (1989), a photographic work first presented when Nishimura was selected for 20 Promising Photographers (PARCO Gallery) in 1990. The work points to the origin of a way of seeing that has continued to the present: a small yet decisive world embedded within the most familiar of subjects. That sensibility runs consistently through his current practice.<\/p>\r\n

The exhibition also brings together works made through photogram and scangram, spanning from pieces produced around twenty years ago to recent works. What appears in these images are beings and materials that populate our daily environment\u2014plants, insects, aquatic life, and artificial objects. Yet their presence in the photographs differs from how we ordinarily perceive them.<\/p>\r\n

The darkroom in photogram, the scanner in scangram\u2014each forms a closed environment, almost like a chamber, in which the subject and the photographer confront one another. Through light and time, a quiet exchange unfolds, and the latent state of the subject gradually emerges.<\/p>\r\n
