“SHORELINE”
photographers’ gallery2017/12/08-2017/12/24 12:00-20:00 DAILY OPEN
Presenting a selection of photographs shot from a fixed point in the town of Naraha, located on along the main coastal road in Fukushima Prefecture, from 2012 to 2017. This town suffered damage not only from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, but also as a result of the nuclear fallout from the damaged power plant nearly. The devastation was so severe that no one was permitted entry to the area until August 2012. Decontamination work commenced in earnest around 2013, and restrictions on residency were lifted in 2015. These images capture not only the decontamination process and reconstruction work, but also the transformation of the terrain. Opposite the main gallery, in Kula Photo Gallery, a you can also see a new body of work by Keiko Sasaoka depicting the snowy landscape of Mount Zao, part of the mountain range that extends across Yamagata and Miyagi prefectures.
