Exhibition Introduction
This exhibition presents photographic works by NUNOGAKI Masakuni and SAITO Hiroyuki, held at YARTGALLERY in Seoul, Korea.
Rooted in different regions—Kansai and Fukushima—the two artists have continued their photographic practices while engaging with places closely connected to their own memories and everyday lives. The exhibition presents works photographed in locations that hold personal significance for each artist.
Focusing on traces of time inscribed in the land and the memories that have been formed there, the exhibition places side by side the accumulated signs of daily life in the cities of Kansai and the lingering presence of winter in Fukushima.
The two perspectives, shaped by different landscapes, intersect as traces dwelling within each place. Through monochrome gelatin silver prints, quiet yet assured fragments of landscape and time are gently revealed.
Since 2023, we have started an exchange exhibition program between YARTGALLERY (Seoul, Korea) and gallery 176 (Osaka, Japan).
To date, gallery 176 has presented Kang Jae-gu’s photo exhibition “Soldier”, Kim Eun-ju’s photo exhibition “Again, SPRING”, and Jeoung Myoung-sik’s photo exhibition “CLEAR MIND AS STILL WATER”.
In 2025, YARTGALLERY hosted the photo exhibition “input x output | input = output” by TOMONAGA Yusuke and NISHIKAWA Yoshiyasu.
This exhibition is held as part of the ongoing exchange between the two galleries.
