NOBUHIRO FUKUI
"Asterism"
2010. 8. 7th(sat.) - 9. 4th(sat.)
Tomio Koyama Gallery 7th floor
opening reception 8.7. sat. 6:00 - 8:00pm
» Introduction:
From 2004, Nobuhiro Fukui continues his creation focusing on midnight townscape. His photography is presented with a clear distinction of an ordinary townscape, at the same time presenting the audience with a feeling of a "deja vu" - a townscape so common that they might have some reminiscence of.
We view things differently according to our condition and perspective. For instance, the luminosity scale of fixed stars is set based on the luminosity seen from earth, thus the same star may be seen in a different scale if seen from elsewhere. Consequently, Fukui's works can be perceived in many different ways as unique as the brightness of those stars. Furthermore, the relationship between the work, its audience and the camera which intervenes between the two is diverse and unrestrained according to the perspective and viewpoint of each audience.
» Concept:
The exhibition title "Asterism" is taken from the meaning, "a group of stars". It is formed differently from the historically established 88 constellations. It is with much delight and honour to have the opportunity to present Fukui's challenge of approximately 20 sets of photography, which has been under preparation for three years.
» Artist Biography:
Nobuhiro Fukui was born in Tokushima prefecture in 1972. From 2004-2005, he has participated in a workshop lead by Osamu Kanemura, a photographer.
In 2007, he exhibited at "WONDER SEEDS 2007" and "Tokyo Painting: My Little Everyday Scenery", both at Tokyo Wondersite Shibuya. In 2008, Fukui was awarded Mention speciale du jury (jury distinction) of The BMW - Paris Photo Prize. In recent years, Fukui has participated in a group Exhibition "NO MAN'S LAND", at the former Embassy of France in Tokyo in 2009, and "DOUBLE VISION", at Tokyo Wondersite Shibuya in 2010. It is Fukui's second solo exhibition at the Tomio Koyama Gallery since "Juxtaposition" held in 2008.
