RINKO KAWAUCHI. M/E Opening Tuesday 7th November from 6.00 pm On view from Wednesday 8th to Tuesday 28th November at Fondazione Sozzani, 22 rue Marx Dormoy, Paris |
After her first exhibition in 2006 in Milan, Rinko Kawauchi returns at Fondazione Sozzani with a site-specific exhibition curated by Emmanuelle de l’Ecotais on the occasion of the Photo Days 2023 in Paris. The exhibition consists of a monumental installation, a video, and a series of photographs selected from her latest series — M/E, An Interlinking, and Illuminance. M/E is an ongoing series started in 2019 which has multiple layers of meanings. Addressing an existential question — “Why am I alive, here and now?” —, her photography invites the viewer to reconsider several questions about human life and our relationship with nature. |
