One of Japan’s leading contemporary photographers, Naoya Hatakeyama has presented award-winning images that explore the relationship between urbanization and the natural world, some of which are on view in the exhibition In the Wake: Japanese Photographers Respond to 3-11. Since 2011, Hatakeyama has returned to his tsunami-ravaged home of Rikuzentakata in Iwate Prefecture to photograph the transformed landscape. On Wednesday, April 22, from 7 – 8 in the Harry and Mildred Remis Autitorium at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, hear how his experiences in Japan and abroad have influenced his process, body of work, and personal philosophy. The lecture is part of the Rad Smith Program in Japanese Art. Image below: Naoya Hatakeyama, 2013.10.20 Kesen-cho from the series “Rikuzentakata 2011–2014†(detail), 2013.
