JAPAN. Bodies, Memories, Visions brings together over 90 works in photography and videos by 16 contemporary Japanese artists, offering a rich and nuanced view of the current Japanese visual culture. Traversing memory and identity, body, reality, and imagination, this book dwells on the relationship between past and present, intimacy and social space, perception and imagination.

Created by internationally recognised masters and emerging artists, the selected works generate a dialogue between tradition and change, engaging with issues of gender, collective memory, everyday life, and global transformations, in an ongoing exchange between local perspectives and shared horizons.
