絶唱 、横須賀ストーリー Yokosuka Story
A raw and visceral series of gelatin silver prints, Ishiuchi Miyako's *Yokosuka Story* documents the gritty, scarred landscape of the port city where she grew up, a place forever marked by the presence of American military bases in postwar Japan. The 22 unique prints pulse with a stark, high-contrast intensity that mirrors the tension between intimacy and alienation, memory and place. Shot in the late 1970s, the work established Ishiuchi as a powerful voice in Japanese photography, transforming personal history into a haunting meditation on identity, loss, and the wounds left by occupation.
