    • Hiroshima Graph — Everlasting Flow
      Yoshikatsu Fujii
      Combining archival and family photos with collage and other interventions, we get a very personal look at how the atomic bomb from 1945 continues to affect survivors and their families in Japan.
    • Hiroshima Graph
      Yoshikatsu Fujii
      The island of Okunoshima has a dark history: for decades, it played a key role in the manufacturing of poisonous gasses used for warfare. Long hidden by the Japanese government, a photographer hopes to bring this past into the light.
    • Red String
      Yoshikatsu Fujii
      A wonderfully conceived and executed hand-made photobook which embodies the artist’s search for wholeness and unity that he lost after his parents’ divorce. One of our favorites of 2014.
