Rinko Kawauchi

The river embraced me

Rinko Kawauchi’s series ‘The river embraced me’ was conceived in the context of a commissioned exhibition at the Contemporary Art Museum in Kumamoto, whose aim was to combine individual memories and stories of Kumamoto’s inhabitants with works of photography. An open call resulted in photographs shot at more than 40 locations around Kumamoto and its environs, from parks and the seashore to a train station, empty road, and pond with koi. The series marks a collaborative effort between Kawauchi and the city’s people that chronicles memories in an evocative and personal way.
