Tomoko Sawada and Naoki Kajitani participate in “Heavy Light: Recent Photography and Video from Japan” Exhibition at the International Center of Photography in New York

Tomoko Sawada, who received a Special Award of New Cosmos of Photography 2000, and Naoki Kajitani, who received an Excellence Award of the same competition in 2002, are participating in “Heavy Light: Recent Photography and Video from Japan” Exhibition, which is being held at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York. This exhibition, in which thirteen artists currently active in Japan are taking part, is a large-scale exhibition that aims to introduce photos and videos on four themes: “Surfaces of the World,” “Transformations of Tradition,” “Costume and Self-Display,” and “The Child as Icon.” If you happen to be in New York, we hope you will take this opportunity to stop at ICP to see how Japanese artists are drawing attention there.
