01 bis quai Jacques Chirac
75016 Paris
Photographer Kazuo Kitai is one of the great masters of Japanese photography, yet still relatively unknown in Europe. Since the 1960s, he has documented Japanese society "from the inside": student movements, peasant struggles, villages on the brink of disappearing, burgeoning suburbs, everyday moments… This retrospective allows us to grasp the evolution of a profoundly humanist perspective, attentive to the transformations of Japan and the memories of its inhabitants. Through nearly 130 prints, it offers a comprehensive overview of his work, from the activist series of the 1960s and 70s to his most recent projects created at home.
