Masahisa Fukase (b. 1934, Bifuka, Hokkaido) was one of Japan’s leading photographers, whose powerful expressions continue to inspire new generations even after a crippling accident in 1992 and his subsequent death in 2012. His works posing universal questions – 'Who am I?' 'What is photography?' – have garnered considerable international attention, especially with the republishing of his legendary 1986 photobook Ravens by UK publisher Mack just this past year. This first posthumous retrospective features portrait works; a selection of Fukase's abstract works, including Hibi, where he applied paint to photographs; his influential Bero Bero series; as well as never-seen images from positives newly restored by the Director of the Masahisa Fukase Archives, Tomo Kosuga.
