Blue Lotus Gallery proudly presents Japanese photographer Yashuhiro Ogawa’s debut exhibition in Hong Kong. Some 20 handmade dark room prints from his latest photography book: ‘The Dreaming’ will be on show. ‘The Dreaming’ (published February 2020) is a collection of black and white photographs by Ogawa, shot during his travels throughout Asia over the past 30 years. Ogawa visited China (including Tibet), Myanmar, India, Cambodia and other countries. For the artist, revisiting his negatives felt like reliving an old dream. Publisher Mark Pearson on the body of work: ‘Ogawa’s photographs succeed in a difficult task: capturing the world as otherworldly and fascinating as it can truly be.’
Blue Lotus Gallery很榮幸為觀眾帶來日本攝影師小川康博於香港的首次個人展覽，為大家展示他最新的攝影系列及同名攝影集：《The Dreaming》（於2020年2月發布）。展覽包含約20張小川康博親手製作的黑房原作照片，展示出小川過去30年遊遍亞洲的旅途中所拍攝的黑白作品。小川曾到訪過中國（包括西藏）、緬甸、印度、柬埔寨及其他亞洲國家。對於這位藝術家而言，重新審視自己的底片，感覺就彷似重溫一場舊夢。出版商Mark Pearson談及小川的作品時說道：「小川的照片成功克服了一項艱鉅的任務：將世界捕捉成另一個引人入勝的超現實世界。」
