Keisuke Nagoshi's photo exhibition "LOOK at THE SUN" held at B GALLERY
2019.07.05
For the third time in eight years, B GALLERY will hold a photo exhibition by photographer Keisuke Nagoshi. In this exhibition titled ``LOOK at THE SUN,'' Keisuke Nagoshi and editor Takuro Chikada have selected carefully selected photos from the 13 days they spent at India's Kumbh Mela, known as the world's largest festival. We will be exhibiting and selling new works as well as works that we have collected in India over the past 12 years.
Kumbh Mela is a big festival that visits four sacred places every three years. The 2019 event attended by Messrs. Nagoshi and Chikada was held in Allahabad, home to the sacred Sangam. Allahabad is the largest of the four holy sites, and the photographs taken by Mr. Nagoshi show over 100 million pilgrims, including a large procession by sadhus from all over India. .
At this exhibition, a new collection of works, ``Vagabond India Kumbh Mela: The Run of the Saints,'' will also be on sale in advance.
Please look forward to Keisuke Nagoshi's latest exhibition.
