PGI is pleased to present Summer's Children, the first solo exhibition in Japan of work by the American photographer Mark Steinmetz.
Born in New York in 1961, Steinmetz spent his childhood on the outskirts of Boston. In 1983, he moved to Los Angeles, where he befriended Garry Winogrand. He later relocated to Athens, Georgia, where he began capturing the everyday American landscape and the people living in it with quiet, controlled monochrome photographs.
The exhibition Summer's Children at PGI consists of works selected from The Players, Summer Camp and other series that Steinmetz began shooting in the mid-1980s, during his twenties, about the different ways children spend their summer holidays. The concentrated look of children practicing baseball, the tense excitement before a match, or the distracted joy of children chatting at a summer camp – Steinmetz' photographs depict not unusual events but rather fragments of common moments and experiences. With sharp sensibility, he has captured the feeling of time's endlessness during childhood.
