戦後から現在まで、世代を超えた写真家たちの作品が一堂に会します。日常への繊細かつ率直なまなざし、日本社会における女性の役割への批評的な視点、そして写真という形式そのものへの実験と拡張。これら三つの主題が織り合わされた展示です。

The International Center of Photography presents I’m So Happy You Are Here: Japanese Women Photographers from the 1950s to Now, an exhibition organized by Aperture that highlights the extraordinary and varied work produced by intergenerational artists spanning post-war Japan up to the present day.
This collection of historical and contemporary works by Japanese women photographers weaves together three major motifs: observations of everyday life that are both delicate and blunt; critical perspectives on the social roles inhabited and often reinterpreted by Japanese women; and experiments with and extensions of the photographic form.
This marks the first US presentation of a landmark exhibition that originated with the 2024 Aperture publication and accompanying exhibition at the Rencontres d’Arles. Since then the exhibition has travelled to Fotomuseum Den Haag, Fotografie Forum Frankfurt, The Photographers’ Gallery in London, and Hikarie Hall in Tokyo.
Komatsu is exhibiting “Propagation Imitator” for this exhibition.
