The Tokyo Gendai exhibition examines the work of five women in a country where female artists are often denied the recognition afforded to male counterparts
A woman with spiky, dyed blonde hair sits submerged in a bath strewn with red rose petals. She is naked, aside from a pair of swimming goggles just visible above the water line. This is one of Japanese photographer Yurie Nagashima’s arresting self-portraits — and a parody of the “hair nude” photographs that swept Japan’s art scene in the 1990s.
Recognizing that women creators weren’t immune to power imbalances with subjects themselves — “even if you question the images of women that men are portraying,” she said, “you might do the same thing if you use them as your own models” — she too saw self-portraits as a way of authentically expressing themes such as body image, sexuality and the female experience.
