Best known for her photographs of male nudes, which have represented a defiant break with some of the taboos and traditional stereotypes of Japanese culture, Sakiko Nomura (1967) is one of the most outstanding photographers of her generation. In this, her first major retrospective, the nudes, in which the erotic tension is wrapped in an atmosphere of tenderness and a certain mystery, coexist alongside various other images (animals, natural landscapes, empty streets and roads, forests, plants and flowers, fireworks…) to ultimately form a series of interrupted narratives that evoke cinematic fictions.
