“觉醒:日本摄影师对3/11事件的回应”今天(3月11日,星期五)在纽约的日本协会开幕,正值2011年日本东北部地震、海啸和核电站故障发生五周年之际。
该展览最初是2015年在波士顿MFA展出的,作为对这场灾难的回应,这是史上拍摄最多的一次。博物馆的日本艺术高级馆长安妮·西村·莫尔斯(Anne Nishimura Morse)说,“在所有人都看到了这些照片之后,我们觉得摄影将是传达损害的第一个合适的阶段,无论是看过还是看不见。”
在展览中,日本学会将90张照片重新组织成三个部分:直截了当的文档、传达视觉语言的技术操作,以及灾后毁灭中心TōHoku的图像。
这些作品致力于表达自然灾害的有形影响,如倒塌的建筑物和被遗弃的宠物,以及无形的,如核污染和心理损害。展览开幕时,鸠山由纪夫在海啸前和海啸后,拍摄了他的家乡Rikuzentakata的色彩鲜艳的大型照片。
其他系列包括Munemasa Takahashi的“失物招领处”-这是一组75万张损坏的照片,被高桥试图与他们的主人团聚;以及Takashi Arai的作品,他在灾难发生后每天都制作达盖尔式的照片,并将它们与广岛原子弹爆炸的照片配对。展览还展出了玉田友子(Tomoko Yoneda)、北岛纪子(Keizo Kitajima)、宫崎骏(Kozo Miyoshi)、志贺利子(Lieko Shiga)、太田康介(Yasusuke Ota)、高桥人(Takashi Homma

Nobuyoshi Araki, a photographer known for his erotic photography, made a significant departure for his series of physically scratched photographs taken in Tokyo on and around 11 March. Many of the photographers in the exhibition shared his frustration of how normal life continued with disregard to the pain and suffering they felt.

Takashi Arai’s daguerreotypes of the Fukushima disaster are set next to iconic images from the Hiroshima bombing. He made a fragmented image of the pocket watch where the time stopped at 8:15am on 6 August, 1945, the moment the atomic bomb exploded over 70 years ago. Photography courtesy Richard P Goodbody, Inc.
Takashi mixed his daguerreotypes of the damage from the Fukushima disaster with images of Hiroshima in order to connect and cement Japan’s complex history with nuclear disasters.

Photographs from Munemasa Takahashi’s ‘Lost and Found’ series – 1,330 of them – are on display as a visual expression of the layers and passing of time and memory. Photography courtesy Richard P Goodbody, Inc.
Renowned for his photos of modern youth and consumer culture, Takashi Homma turned to nuclear contaminated mushrooms to capture the unseen effects of a nuclear disaster, as well as draw an obvious metaphor with the atomic bombing.

Chrysanthemums are a national symbol of Japan – they are on Japanese passports and are considered the flower of the royal family. Tomoko Yoneda took this photo shortly after the disaster. ‘I wanted to show how little things can turn into big things; how something can look pure and innocent, but then maybe it could be something else,’ she says.

Lieko Shiga is a survivor of the Fukushima disaster and a town photographer in the city of Kitakama in the Tohoku region. 'I am trying to express what I cannot see with my naked eye.... These photographs are about the spirit and the history of what we haven’t recorded,' she says. Pictured: Still Unconscious, by Shiga Lieko. Courtesy the artist
