Katsushige Nakahashi: The Depth of Memory
-
- Katsushige Nakahashi photographing on the deck of the USS Missouri, Honolulu, HI, Photo: Mike Weidenbach
While reenactments and reconstructions often serve the purpose of more fully understanding an event or object, Japanese photographer Katsushige Nakahashi's pieces hint at the easily distorted, malleable nature of historical narrative. In his sweeping piece On the Day Project, 7th of December, 2006 / Battleship Missouri, Pearl Harbor, the photographer documented and reassembled the battleship's deck, the site of a 1945 Kamikaze strike. Nakahashi's new work focuses his lens on every crevice of a Kaiten submarine maquette, using the photographs to create a scale reproduction. The use of the Kaiten, interwoven with the memory of war and the countless lives it affected, ensures that, although the piece is made of flimsy paper, it is no paper tiger.
Note: An artist reception takes place on Tue Jan 15 (5-8pm).
