During the solo exhibitions, the group exhibition “for missing O KYTO” (exhibiting artists: Ryoko Ito, Atsushi Nishijima, and Hiroyuki Oki) invited by Kimura and Ochiai will be held at TKG Editions Kyoto.

Yuki Kimura “Interior 6L01〜107T” Location: Taka Ishii Gallery Kyoto
In the current exhibition, Yuki Kimura will exhibit her new work “Interior 6L01–107T”, which continues her engagement with photographs of rooms. Both the lifestyles captured in the anonymously produced found photographs of living spaces Kimura uses in her works and the medium of the analog photographic print have become obsolete with the passage of time. Kimura has found inspiration in the fact that the image and the medium have followed the same fate together. The current installation consists of free-standing panels and a related series of 9 black and white photographs. The space represented in the photograph overlaid on the actual space of the gallery via the support structure, results in the creation of a new space. The relationship existing between the photographs may be read as a series of induction lines within the space, photography evolving into a physical experience. From the place in which the photographs were taken to the place the photographs have been placed, Kimura’s practice calls into existence what one might call a visual tautology. This will be Kimura’s first solo exhibition at Taka Ishii Gallery Kyoto and her 6th with the gallery.
