Exhibition Overview
Since the early stages of her career, Chikako Yamashiro (1976-) has been widely recognized for works that emerge from a direct engagement with the experiences and realities she encounters while living in Okinawa.
Employing photography and video as her primary media, she in recent years has examined contemporary Okinawa from aspects such as politics, society, culture, and the natural environment, creating works of strong narrative character that connect past to present using a long-term perspective. In expressing a complexly entangled reality, she embraces that complexity to produce rich stories filled with a strength and pliancy not overly constrained by reality. In her new work, the video unfolds a dialogue between present and past, supported by her silent gaze, and leaves interpretation to the viewer. What kind of future can we create from here?
This exhibition explores Chikako Yamashiro’s world with a focus on recent and new works offering new readings of the present, with references to her early works.
