A leading exponent of contemporary minimalist photography, Michael Kenna has a deep attachment to Asia. Celebrating Kenna's donation of his work to France in November 2022, this exhibition is the first major retrospective of his work in Asia.
It offers a sensitive experience of Michael Kenna's Asian landscapes, exploring the bridges between photography and local artistic traditions in nine thematic sections, each introduced by a dialogue between a print and a work from the Musée Guimet collections.
The exhibition will also take visitors behind the scenes of the creative process, with cross-disciplinary sections on the making of images (from the camera to the darkroom to the book) and the work of the motif.
