Insights: Fieldwork
The Insights portion of the fest takes a look at one important theme or moment in the development of photography. This year, curated by Claire Shea, deputy director of Para Site (Hong Kong), Fieldwork presents works from artists across the Asia Pacific region using photography to explore how landscape shapes histories and perception, including Motoyuki Shitamichi’s series ‘Torii’, which looks into how the significance of the gateways outside of Japan has changed (into a park bench, for example, or being destroyed altogether).
