"Mothers 2000-2005: Imprints of the Future" is a photo collection by Miyako Ishiuchi, a world-renowned female photographer. Following in the footsteps of artists like Shomei Tomatsu and Daido Moriyama, who pioneered postwar Japanese photography, her early trilogy, "Yokosuka Story," "Apartment," and "City of Nights," are known as masterpieces that have carved their mark on the history of Japanese photography. Since the 1990s, she has also been actively creating close-ups of the body that mark time and memory, with notable works including "1 9 4 7," "Hiromi 1955," "1906 to the Skin," and "Scars." This book is the official catalog for the Japan Pavilion of "Mothers," which was exhibited as Japan's representative work at the 51st Venice Biennale in 2005, and is a photo collection published to commemorate the exhibition. As her mother, with whom she had a deep estranged relationship, faces death, she confronts the objects she left behind, describing and photographing close-ups of her body. This private documentary carefully captures the memories of her mother, who overcame greater grief than she could have imagined and became an independent woman. Includes some of the works from her early trilogy. English version (English and Japanese).
