The collective Photography? End? consists of seven contemporary Japanese artists whose respective avenues of work look at the potentiality of photography in a rapidly evolving digital age. With a diverse range of approaches in material innovation and conceptual direction, their work asserts that there are many ways to arrive at an image,whether through intention, subversion, chance, experimentation, or research. With each member having a distinct voice, the space between their works provokes conversation, reminding us that this field harbors yet undiscovered possibility.

Jonathan Yukio Clark was born on Maui in 1987. He received an MFA in studio art from New York University and a BFA in painting with a second major in East Asian studies from Washington University in St. Louis, in addition to time spent as a research student in printmaking at Kyoto Seika University. He is the curator of FOCUS and Gallery Director at Maui Arts & Cultural Center, where he oversees the Schaefer International Gallery’s exhibits programs, ranging from local to international in scope. He serves on the board of Hawai‘i Museums Association as Vice President.

Ken Kitano was born in Tokyo in 1968. He graduated from the College of Industrial Technology at Nihon University in Chiba in 1991, and currently lives and works in Tokyo as Professor of Photography at Zokei University. He won the Society of Photography Award in 2004 and the Newcomer’s Award from the Photographic Society of Japan in 2007. In 2012, he was a recipient of a fellowship to study in the United States through the Ministry of Cultural Affairs and the Japan-U.S. Friendship Fund, residing in the U.S. for one year. As a conceptual photographer, Kitano’s landscapes and portraits of contemporary Japan challenge what he perceives as globalization’s homogenization of time and space.
