IWATE MUSEUM OF ART

Ongoing since 1999, this art project by EU Japan Fest Japan Committee consists in inviting to Japan photographers who are working in Europe to record for posterity images of the various prefectures of Japan on the theme of contemporary Japanese people and how they live their lives. The works from vol.7 are that of four European photographers (David Farrell, Dara McGrath, Jitka Hanzlova and Valentina Seidel) shot in Iwate, Kanagawa and Gifu prefectures over Sep. to Dec. 2004. We hope that this collection will prove an opportunity for Japanese to reacquaint themselves with aspects of our daily lives that we have tended to overlook and for Europeans to deepen their understanding of Japan and become more familiar with the distant presence of our distant Far Eastern country.
