16 - Rinko Kawauchi and Tokuko Ushioda - From our windows

Jul 6, 2026 – Sep 20, 2026

From Our Windows brings together two major figures of Japanese photography from different generations: Rinko Kawauchi and Tokuko Ushioda. Adapted from an exhibition first presented at KYOTOGRAPHIE in 2024, this dual presentation explores each artist’s reflections on home, family, and the everyday. Born in 1972, Kawauchi began photographing her family to preserve its memory. Motherhood profoundly transformed her perspective, sharpening her sensitivity to the cycles of life. In As it is (2020), delicate images from the early years of her daughter’s life, paired with poetic texts, capture the quiet simplicity of existence through the changing seasons. Born in 1940, Ushioda presents two series that she rediscovered in 2019 while clearing out her family home. My Husband (1978–1985) tenderly records the ordinary moments of early parenthood. ICE BOX (1981–ongoing) centers on an old refrigerator as a witness to the evolution of domestic life over two decades.
