OSAMU KANEMURA (Japanese, b. 1964)
supports his work in photography by delivering
newspapers throughout Tokyo. While traveling his
extensive route each day for the last three years,
he made numerous black-and-white
photographs of the crowded streets, the collage of old and new buildings and
street signs, and the massive traffic in commercial goods. His dark,
graphically dense, and tangled pictures capture the pace and material essence
of a city that is more a product of unchecked growth
than of design. Left: Untitled #13. 1995. Gelatin-silver print.
19 x 23". Lent
