Traces of Light in Modernism
Koshiro Onchi, Osamu Shiihara and Ei-Q
Published by The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, 1997, 40 pp. (b/w ill.), 21 × 29.7 cm, Japanese/English
Price: €44

Various artistic trends originating in Europe after World War 1, such as Russian Constructivism, the Bauhaus in Germany and Surrealism in France, left a strong impression on Japanese art and photography in the Taisho and the early Showa periods. In photography in particular, the Western influence brought a new movement called Shinko Shashin (New Photography) in the early Showa period. This exhibition was an attempt at reexamining the visual expression in the period from the perspective of the photographic work of artists from fields other than photography, focusing on the work of Koshiro Onchi, Osamu Shiihara and Ei-Q.

In his practice, Jason Hirata often demonstrates support, highlighting dependencies and contingencies that are just as inherent in artistic production as they are elsewhere. Supporting Role brings together a collection of the artist’s writings from 2019 to 2024. Comprising checklists, press releases, visual descriptions, exhibition reviews, invoices, and curricula vitae, these are texts built from the supporting documents of an artistic practice, while simultaneously offering further support.
