今日は会社は物理的に存在しないので、
昼過ぎから恵比寿にある東京都写真美術館に行ってきた。
現在、「昭和写真の１９４５－１９８９」という展示が行われいる。
その年代に生きた写真家が、その時代の流行や社会問題、環境問題等を、独特の感性で捉えられていた。
東京は建物も生活も人も大分変ったなあと思った。
赤んぼのおんぶの仕方も変わったんだなあと。
先日、友人と築地市場も何年後かにはなくなるということを話していて、
新しいものは簡単に作れるが、古いものは一度壊してしまうと、もう取り戻せなくなるといったようなことを、話したことを思い出した。
東京は住みやすいし、便利だし、良い街だとは思うけど、
一度立ち止まって、開発プランを考え直したほうがいいと思う。
As my company did not physically exist today, I decided to visit the Tokyo Photography Gallery in Ebisu today.
They are currently doing an exhibition called "Showa photographs 1945-1989".
Showa is the period of Japanese history corresponding to the reign of Emperor Showa, which lasted from 1926 to 1989.
So this exhibition covers the post-war period of the Showas era.
It was very interesting, there were some insightful photos capturing the social, political and environmental movements of that period,
which were very informative, nostaligic in some way, and some photos expressed strong messages.
Looking at the photos, I realised how dramatically Tokyo has changed over the past half century.
The way mothers carry their child changed too.
I recalled a conversation I had with my friends the other day, about the plan to demolish the Tsukiji market place (a famous fish market in Tokyo).
I think it'a very sad thing, I mean, the new things you can build whenever, but the old things you can never regain once destroyed.
Tokyo is a very nice city, convenient and all, but I do think it should stop and rethink about its development strategy.
写真展を出て、その後上野の西洋美術館で今行われている、ムンク展を観てきた。
規模自体はあまり大したことはなかったが、ビデオ上映や、展示の仕方が工夫されていて、楽しめた。
さすがにムンクのポスターを部屋に飾ると、鬱になりそうだったので、
冷蔵庫に貼るマグネットをお土産に買った。
美術館を出ると雨が勢いを増していた。
今日はなんとも充実した一日だった。
再び、写真を撮り始めなくてはと思う。
From Ebisu, I went to Ueno to visit the Western Art Gallery. They are currently doing Edvard Munch's exhibition.
It was small scale, but the layout and the themes they've set were creative and I enjoyed it very much.
But I didn't buy any posters because I could get depressed by watching at them everyday,
but I bought a magnet for my souvenir.
The rain got stronger when I left the gallery.
It was such a relaxing day.
I should start taking photographs again.
