This exhibition presents examples of her major works from the past 25 years, such as the groundbreaking series Mother's and Hiroshima. Throughout her artistic career Ishiuchi Miyako has been dedicated to investigating the traces of history through a unique focus on the textures of skin, objects and garments. Elements like scars, wrinkles, threads and cracks not only bear witness to mortality, trauma, and times past, but they are also powerful markers of bodies, ideas and humanity in the present. - publishers description.
