RYUIJI MIYAMOTO

Ryuji Myamoto was born in Tokyo in 1947, where he continues to work and live today. He is best known for his photographs of the Kobe earthquake in 1995, and is now engaged in a project concerned with the homelessness endemic in Japanese cities. He makes and exhibits photographs in wooden "pin-hole houses", cameras obscura which resemble the simple, desperate shelters made by those who have nowhere else to go. The artistıs silhouette is included in most if not all images, representing the human form in general‹anyone could be seeking refuge at any time.
