Zooming In: Reintroducing Shigeru Onishi’s Oeuvre

On 9 December, we hosted a Zoom conversation with MEM Gallery Director Katsuya Ishida and Art Critic Vicente Todolí. Together with Project Coordinator Valeria Posada, these experts engaged in a conversation about Shigeru Onishi’s rare body of work, currently featured in the exhibition The Possibility of Existence. ABOUT THE CONVERSATION Shigeru Onishi’s photographs were reintroduced in the art scene a few years ago thanks to the joint effort of the gallery director Katsuya Ishida and the art historian Ryūichi Kaneko. Their fascination with his unacknowledged creations and their active promotion has captured the attention of photography lovers in and outside of Japan. Alongside Project Coordinator Valeria Posada, these experts discussed the rediscovery of Onishi’s work and how this renewed interest led to the making of two important exhibitions.
