Mariko Takeuchi's exhibition "Silence and Image" held at B GALLERY
2018.10.09

B GALLERY will hold its first exhibition by photographic critic Mariko Takeuchi. In this exhibition, we will introduce his first solo book, ``Silence and Image - Essay on Photography'', which was published in May of this year, through an installation.
For over 15 years, she has been active as a photo critic both domestically and internationally, and has interacted with many photographers and has been closely involved with photography. Throughout this process, I have repeatedly asked myself, ``Can I truly say that I have seen a photograph?'' However, I continue to sincerely face what it means to ``look at a photograph'' and put it into words as a critic. Her words, carefully crafted one by one, will teach us something important as we live in a modern society where photographs are overflowing all over the world. Please look forward to this exhibition.
``Between seeing and writing lies an enormously wide space. In between, I have repeatedly struggled and been stunned. , I have always warned myself against trying to think I understand something because of the photographs that are always in front of me, and also because I am a photographer.
Now, I'm returning the small words that came from looking at photographs to looking at them again. ” - Mariko Takeuchi
