Sakiko Nomura says that ever since she decided she wanted to be a photographer, “there were two days when I didn’t pick up a camera, but those were days that I didn’t need in my life.” She also seems to have a complete overlap between her photography and her real life, as she says, “If something can’t be photographed, it doesn’t need to be in my life.”

Although she is mainly known for her nude photographs of male subjects, she says that the world that unfolds in front of her camera, including ordinary street scenes, objects, and everyday events, are all equivalent as her subjects. And it seems that these objects and things are coming at you, asking you to “take a picture” of them. The male nude works that have been known up until now have only been fragments of Sakiko Nomura’s photographic world.

This exhibition will be the first exhibition to showcase the entirety of Sakiko Nomura’s photographic world, which is composed of everyday scenes and events captured using a variety of techniques, including black-and-white, color, and Polaroid.
