Exhibit Detail

Maui Arts & Cultural Center’s Schaefer International Gallery presents the group exhibition  FOCUS, featuring seven contemporary Japanese photographers who go by the collective name of “photography?end?”. The group consists of Yuji HamadaKen KitanoMiki NitadoriYuki OnoderaNaruki OshimaRisaku Suzuki, and Kazuyoshi Usui. Their respective avenues of work look at the potentiality of photography in a rapidly evolving digital age. While the production of images has become largely dematerialized in our current moment, the artists consider the materiality of photography and explore the relationship between conception, theme, and exhibition of work.
