Rinko Kawauchi
Japanese photographer Rinko Kawauchi weaves a narrative of the duality between life and death in her work. Her images simultaneously suggest optimism for an idyllic existence and existential dread for the struggles of everyday life.
Kawauchi graduated from Seian University of Art and Design in 1993. In 2001, she released a trio of photobooks — Utatane, Hanabi and Hanako — that received critical acclaim and launched Kawauchi’s career. Over the next two decades, she produced over 20 photobooks.
Kawauchi is a master narrator capable of telling stories in a minimalist style. Like the haikus she writes to accompany her work, Kawauchi’s photography offers poetry in the stillness of a single frame. Simplicity is a key element in her work, which captures intentional moments and freezes nature in time. Her subjects include fire, fireworks, clouds, lightning, sakura blossoms and waves.
In 2002, Kawauchi won the Rookie of the Year Award from the Photographic Society of Japan. She received the International Center of Photography’s Annual Infinity Award in 2009 and was shortlisted in 2012 for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize. In 2013, she won the Domestic Photographer Award at the 29th Higashikawa Awards and the Art Encourage Prize for New Artist from the Ministry of Education.
She has exhibited her work around the world, including at the Fondation Cartier in Paris, the Photographer’s Gallery in London, the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo and White Cube in Kyoto.

- Devon – Nick Knight, Model, Fashion, Asia, Portrait, Photograhpy, 90s, pinkLocated in Zurich, CHNICK KNIGHT (*1958, Great Britain) Devon 1997 Hand-coated pigment print Sheet 101,6 x 76,2 cm (40 x 30 in.) Edition of 12, plus 2 AP; Ed. 4/12 (from a sold out edition) Nick Knight is among the world’s most influential and visionary photographers. He has worked on a range of often controversial issues during his career – from racism, disability, ageism, and more recently fat-ism. He continually challenges conventional ideals of beauty. Knight made fashion history in November 1993 by adapting ring-flash photography to capture Linda Evangelista for a landmark, post-grunge cover of British Vogue. Since then, his work has graced no fewer than 36 covers. He has shot advertising campaigns for Jil Sander, Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, Yves Saint Laurent, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and Christian Dior to name a few. He has also shot record covers for David Bowie, Paul Weller, George Michael and Massive Attack. Knight’s work has been exhibited at institutions such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, Saatchi Gallery, The Photographers’ Gallery, the Hayward Gallery and recently the Tate Modern. Knight has also turned his hand to directing music videos - Pagean Poetry by Björk in 2001 being his first and, most recently, Kanye West’s Bound 2. He directed the video for Lady Gaga’s hit single Born This Way in 2011. Both the song and the video aimed to empower and show solidarity within minority groups, a common theme in Knight’s work. In 1997 Knight took this photograph of model Devon Aoki...Category
