Looking Back | Tamiko Nishimura | Zen Foto Galley 2024

“I photographed every day and travelled a lot. Looking back, it was the time when I took the most pictures. Perhaps because I had been longing for the north since childhood, I often went to Tohoku, Hokkaido and Hokuriku in winter to experience the snowy season […]
In April 2024, I went to New York for the first time for my solo exhibition. I shot 12 rolls of film in one week, taking photographs in the car from the apartment I was staying in Brooklyn to the gallery in Manhattan, and walking around near the apartment.
I couldn't help but laugh as I was taking snapshots at the market in the park near my apartment, thinking that I was doing just the same, fifty years ago.” - From Tamiko Nishimura’s afterword
