Seen: in silence
Who: 野村佐紀子 Sakiko Nomura / website
Where: Place M, Shinjuku
When: December 3 - 9, 2018
Sakiko Nomura held two seperate photo exhibitions in December, 2018. At Place M she showed in silence- an apt title considering the presentation and content. If these pictures had any sounds you’d likely hear the rustling of bed sheets. The male nude- particularly one which is supine and indoors- has long been a major theme of her work. The way she incorporates dimly lit and heavily shadowed bodies with landscapes and images from her life is unique- the seeming vulnerability of her male subjects is rare and the consistency of her vision over the years is impressive.
