Join us for a private view of Tomoko Yoneda’s solo exhibition at the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation, Faultlines. This exhibition presents a selection of photography produced over the past thirty years by London-based Japanese artist Tomoko Yoneda. Among the works presented are photographs from her seminal series Scene that revisit sites of historic conflict and unspoken trauma, and DMZ, in which the artist captures the quiet beauty of native flora in Korea’s demilitarized zone. A display in the ground floor library features silver gelatin prints from her series Between Visible and Invisible, focusing on texts of personal significance to major historical and intellectual figures of the 20th century.
- The doors will open at 6:00 pm. Guests who have booked in advance are welcome to visit the gallery any time between 6:00 pm and 7:45 pm.
